Chapter 37: 37. Wages of sins.

"General! Touching you say? I was merely helping the Lady." The man named Jadon smoothly says now that Laurius is here. Wait why do I suddenly feel extra confident just because Laurius is here? I don't know why I'm getting this kind of over-protective little brother kind of vibe from him. 

It's like when Kyle or Karl find a guy staring at me, they'd suddenly walk up to me, standing on both sides like some kind of assigned bodyguards. Only difference is that standing with Laurius Rein alone, feels like I'm all wrapped up. Like I'm shielded. It's like Karl and Kyle wrapped in one.

"Helping? Are you implying that the king needs your help to take care of his woman?"

"W_what?" The man stutters. A wave of distress flashes over his face, but it vanishes almost as quickly as it had come. "Of course not, General Laurius. The Lady merely tripped and I stopped her from falling." He smiles again.
