Chapter 61

Chapter 45: Protect You (2)

“…If you want me to,” Aran answered with a burst of tears.

Enoch flashed a self-deprecating smile. Does this girl know what death is for her to casually say that? She’s never even caught a bug.

“I will never forgive them. How dare they….” Aran said solemnly. She was afraid that her pledge sounded like a child’s whimper.

He was in no position to laugh at the princess. No matter how he used to be, he’s only a servant now. The servants wouldn’t bat an eye even if he went all out using his previous training to fight back.

On the other hand, even though she was but a child, Aran was still a princess. The weight of her grumble was never taken lightly. She kept the traitor’s child alive.

Enoch was in agony. He had no intention of getting along with the servants in the first place. All he’d been doing so far has been just going along with his determination to survive.

‘How long will they bother me? How long will I be able to put up with it?’

James’ face came to his mind as he grinded his teeth. When Enoch returns to the annex he would try to finish off what he had not accomplished before. The princess had the ability to stop all that.

Her tears fell over Enoch’s naked upper body. The salty tears seeped into his open wounds and made them itch. It was as unpleasant a sensation as the princess’ favor.

He would never be able to live as an ordinary servant if he borrowed the hand of the princess.

An ordinary servant?

Enoch, who was pondering the word, soon clicked his tongue. He seemed to have become dumb, too, bya*sociation to the princess. From the very beginning he could never be an ordinary servant. Until his death, he would always be branded with the title, “child of a traitor.

The decision was made quickly. It should have been like this from the beginning. She was his only shield, though pathetic for him to have to lean on a 14-year-old girl.

Enoch smiled at Aran. “Yes. Don’t forgive them. Come on, let me go.”

Aran stared blankly at Enoch’s face. It was the first time he had laughed like this since the fall of the Grand Duke. When she saw that smile, she wanted to listen to whatever he wanted.

“Okay. Wh*ever it is, I’ll punish them until you’re relieved. So let’s eat first. You’ve lost too much weight.”

“Thank you.”

Enoch dressed up again and began to eat.
