Return of the Crowned Heiress

Chapter 136

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. That kick won't cripple you, but if you dare touch me again..."

Arnold winced, beads of sweat forming on his forehead as he tried to endure the pain. Felicia felt a sense of satisfaction wash over her.

Just then, the group of women who had been trailing behind approached with concerned looks when they saw Arnold's pained expression. "Mr. Lawson, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Of course, Arnold couldn't confess the truth. Gritting his teeth, he slowly stood up while trying to appear unfazed. He strained his voice as he replied, "I'm fine."

Not wanting to spend the night in the mountains, they had no choice but to follow Felicia further along the path.

Felicia paid no mind to her followers and confidently led the way. After walking for half an hour as twilight set in, she finally caught sight of the picturesque village at the foot of the mountain.

The sounds of chirping insects and birds mingled with the wafting smoke of cooking fires, creating a warm, homey atmosphere.
