Chapter 144: CHAPTER 144: PROTECT THE CHIEF!

They did not expect to see the king!

Prince Leo, Sarah and Lemuel reached the sacred mountain and was about to go to Milcah's grave when they suddenly met the king. 

"Father." Prince Leo greeted the king who was about to mount his horse. Sarah and Lemuel lowered their heads as well.

"Prince Leo, what are you doing here at this time? And who are they?" He looked at the young man and young lady beside him. 

"Oh, they were my friends. Sarah and Lemuel. I met them in Roeun."

"Glad to know you found some friends." The king smiled. "Why don't you let them work in the palace? This young man could become one of our good soldiers." Then the king looked at his chief attendant. "Look after them." He ordered.

"Thank you for your kindness, your highness. But Lemuel is my personal bodyguard now." Prince Leo lied.

"Oh, okay. That's fine. Why don't we go back to the palace together then? We still have something to discuss about, right?"
