Chapter 9 SAGE

I was so tempted to lift my face up. I know I've heard that voice from somewhere; I'm sure of it. I just couldn't recall where exactly heard that deep baritone voice.

"Just a quick look," I murmur. I slowly lifted my head, trying to get a glimpse of his face. But before I could even take a peek, I was startled by Beta Scott's thundering voice. "Keep your head low if you still want your head attached to your body," he threatened.

My throat felt dry as my eyes widened in fear. I immediately dismiss whatever plan I have in my head. Seeing His Majesty's face was not worth anything. I'd rather live in the shadow than get into his nerves.

I quickly kneeled in front of the king and bowed my head to the ground. "Forgive me, Your Majesty. I-I didn't mean to "

I can feel the warmth of his breath brushing against my skin, and it sends shivers down my spine. At the same time, I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. What does he mean by that?

Before I could even utter a word, he stood up and walked past me, leaving me with more questions than answers. I wanted to follow him and ask him, yet I'm afraid that I might accidentally look at his face.

"You're dismissed," I heard him say as he walked past me.
