Chapter 61: Luke's Trouble

Before the man realized what happened, his family jewel had been kneed, and his body curled in pain  fell into the water. When the night watch found him, both his hands were between his legs. 

Upon hearing the commotion, Luke and those working with him came running as well. 

"Are you alright, Orian?" Luke asked with a dark expression. 

Oriana merely glanced where man had fallen into shallow water, still whining in pain. 

"We were just having some strength check on who is more of a man, and it turned out I am stronger," she answered and walked past them without any guilt. The others helped that cursing man get out of the water, but Oriana was already out of earshot. She didn't care if he told them the truth or not.

Luke followed Oriana as that man didn't concern him. "Orian, what happened?" Obviously, he didn't believe her previous words. 

"What I just told you."

He held her hand and stopped her, "Did he try to lay hands on you?"
