Kidnapped and Rejected – The Return of Alpha’s Luna by Moon Claw

Chapter 223

”

Clemente looked stunned, “You don’t want me to follow you? But the King clearly said that!!

“The King is not here,” Janet’s voice turned cold slightly. “And you saw how those people treated me, Clemente. There is no respect. I need to turn this around and convince them that I can be Queen. This hunting is my opportunity.”

There was a tight furrow between Clemente’s brows, “You can do the hunting all by yourself, Lady Janet. I won’t partake. But I have to follow you into the woods and keep you safe. It is my duty…”

“The thing is, Clemente, if you follow me into the woods, nobody will believe that I killed those prey by myself. They will all think that you helped me. And what is the point of that?”

Clemente bit his lips, looking reluctant.

If she asked him to stay back a week before, he would never, ever agree to that.

But they had developed some sort of trust after the baseball game.

Janet was counting on that trust right now.

“Give me a chance to prove myself, Clemente. That is all I am asking,” she said.

Clemente took in a deep breath.

“…Fine,” he gave in eventually.

Joy exploded in Janet’s chest, “Thank you, Clemente!”

“The King will kill me if he finds out about this ” he groaned.

“The King will kill me if he finds out about this,” he groaned.

She smiled, “I will make sure that he never finds out.”

That was a lie.

Because she is fully prepared to disappear into the woods and mountains once the hunting begins.

She could aiready imagine Westin’s rage when he learnt that Clemente let her into the woods alone.

She felt sorry for using Clemente…But she would not apologize for doing what was necessary to escape this place.

Oh, and there was one last step of preparation to do….

Janet faked a sneeze.

“Are you cold?” Clemente asked immediately, “Where is your jacket?”

Everyone else was wearing a thick jacket that could protect them from the chilly mountain breeze.

Yet Janet only had a thin shirt on her.

“I left my jacket in my room,” she said.
