Chapter 358 He Likes Her



“Are you going back to the palace?” asked Declan after a long pause when Anne nodded.

Though she was not sure if she should. She was sure that the couple would be busy in their room after a long day of work.

And the staff would be busy with handling so many prisoners and patients. The place would be a mess.

She was just going to spend the whole night tossing and turning on her bed or covering her ears so that the pleas of her mother could not fall into her ears.

She was just getting tired of it but then… she had always been a loaner since the start.

Her sister found her true love early in her life and was lucky enough to meet him in her second life too while she.. She didn’t even know if the god have made anyone for her at all.

“Umm,..” she felt the man wanted to say further but was looking around.

“What is it?” This was the second time she had felt hesitation from him and that always made her curious.

“Well.. if arefreethencancomwithme!” He said in such a speedy voice that her brows furrowed and she looked at him as if he had grown two hearts or he was an alien that could fly in the air.

He coughed when she looked at him as if he was a fool! Well, he did feel like a fool and embarrassed too when he spoke in front of her.

“That.. I was asking!” he took a deep breath this time and closed his eyes before speaking again,

“Well.. if you are free then you can come with me!” he did not open his eyes for long since he did not hear any reply from her, he was about to walk away when she coughed.

“Going where?” she asked with a straight face, that he did not understand if she was taking the offer or not.

“Um, that… I mean.. Why don’t you come with me and help me in arranging a report about the incident since you ate the witness of it. Or it would be too troublesome for me.” ah! So he was asking for help!

She looked around. She did not want to spend the night here anyway.

“Alright, i will help you.” she nodded and the face of the boy bloomed, he smiled and then nodded his head.

“I have a carriage given by the council that way.” his face had turned so red and his eyes were brightened like his marriage proposal had been accepted by the girl of his dreams.

He looked too happy that she chuckled as she did not know how to respond.

He started walking toward the north and she followed him. Her eyes often wandered around, looking at the meadows that had burnt and the number of people that were being dragged by the knights of the lord.

The number of patients in the tents were increasing. All these things made her heart drop.

It was a big cost to be paid for saving the slaves.

“I have already told you. If you want to achieve big things, you have to be ready for the sacrifices.” she was not expecting him to whisper in her ears suddenly while standing so close to her.

She took a step back suddenly and lost her footing. She was about to fall on the ground that was full of mud and blood when he held her waist.

She was still waiting for the impact when she felt a warm pair of hands holding her.

Her eyes opened and met his. He was looking at her with worry but soon he smiled when she did not move away.

His touch was warm in the cold night. And his eyes seem like the sea in which she could drown easily.

How much time had passed when she finally blinked and moved away.

“I thought you were never going to let go! What a fool I am.” he muttered in a soft voice that she did not know if he was teasing her or was regretting in reality.

But she didn’t know why it brought a smile to her face.

“Hey lady” asked the boy in a soft voice, when she turned back only to notice that he was standing in front of a dark carriage.

It looked simple yet she could tell that it was a luxurious one looking at the quality of the horses and there were four instead of two that were found in common carriages.

“You are walking too ahead.” he said as he opened the door for her and she smiled as she walked back.

Holding her dress, she gave him a formal bow before entering into the carriage that brought a smile on his face.

He followed her in and closed the door.

“I live on baker street. It will take some time to reach there. So, if you want to take a nap, you can.” he offered the girl who shook her head.

She did not want to sleep and see the nightmares again. These days she was feeling more and more lonesome at night and scared because of past memories.

“Aah, then do you want to talk to pass time?” he asked again scratching the back of his head.

He looked nervous and a bit embarrassed.

“Is it the first time that you are sharing a carriage with a woman?” she asked with a twinkle in her eyes when he shook his head at once.

“Of course,  not!” He tried to sound confident but it soon deflated like a balloon when she did not stop staring at him, “but it is the first time that I am sharing one at night.” he added with a sigh that made her chuckle again.

“I still wonder how you become a councilman with such a timid personality!” she asked with a chuckle, when he frowned

“It is not like that! It is just that i like the girl who is sitting in front of me.”
