41 Chapter 41: Have we met before? (II)

“Have we met before?” Swan asked, and Gale frowned hearing that question.

she could associate Gale with the kind knight who helped her that night. “I mean, have we met before you took me out of Holy Achate's Palace?"

“No,” Gale replied firmly. His past before he met with Swan was dark, filled with curses, war, conquest, and bloodbath. They could never have met before.

It was late at night when Aria said that she couldn't sleep, so she told the guards to drag Swan out of her room and tie her up on a tree at the palace ground. Swan was so scared because it was a very dark night in the middle of autumn. The air was so cold, which only worsened the pain in her leg.
