Chapter 125

“You.”

Lance’s voice came from above her head.

Janet held her head down stiffly. She was afraid that Lance would recognize her if she met his eyes.

“You. Raise your head,” Lance demanded.

From a peripheral look, Janet saw that he was pointing at her!

Janet’s heart sank.

Did Lance pick her? Among all the girls here…He picked her?!

What were the fucking odds!

Her stepping up right now meant that she could save an innocent girl from going through the torture, which was nice.

But it also meant that she wouldn’t be able to kill Danton tonight. Hence, everything that they planned would go down the drain.

Janet’s mind was racing fast.

What should she do?

Should she abort the original plan?

Was there a way to get out of this?

In the slit of a second, she came up with a plan.

“My King…I…”

She faked a small cough and said in a fake voice, “I caught the cold the other night. I am probably not fit to serve you.”

Lance gave her a searching look, “Really? Or is it because you don’t want to keep me company?”

“No! Of course, I want to. Serving you is the best thing that happens in my life…I am just afraid that I might give you the cold,” she said in an obedient voice.

Andre had been watching them anxiously. He rushed over and backed her story, “It is true, My King. This girl is sick. And that is why she is wearing a veil. So please, pick

somebody else. There are some other pretty good options here.”

Danton huffed on the back of his horse, “Getting a sick girl here? What were you fucking thinking Andre?! Kick her out!”

“Father-”

“No, that is fine. Let her stay,”

Lance raised a hand and stopped their argument. He looked bored.

“Just send a couple of healthy girls to my tent tonight. I trust you with your taste, Andre.”
