Sold as the Alpha King’s Breeder

Chapter 403

Chapter 61: The Wrong Prince

I wasn’t sure where I was going or what I was planning to do, but I wanted the fresh air in my lungs to clear my mind.

After I’d been outside for a few moments, the bitterness in my chest seemed to be relieved to a degree. I let out a sigh. I didn‘ t even understand why I felt the strange need to see Theo or talk to him.

At this point, I didn’t owe him anything, and he’d granted me freedom. I’d gotten what I wanted, and there was no reason to be upset.

Yes, I would comply with Prince Theo’s wishes and leave the castle- after I went to see his animals and tell them a proper goodbye. I had become close to them, especially that silly snake of his.

Just then, before I could even make it to his zoo, I heard a thud, sounded like something fell on the ground.

What happened? I changed my path to check it out in case someone needed help.

In the distance, a little boy was sitting on the grass near the sidewalk. He was dressed in regal clothes, the royal colors, and the fabric was fine. His hair was a bit messy, and he had a streak of dirt on his cheek, but I could tell despite his disheveled state that he was someone important.

It also looked as if he might be injured. He was holding his leg, up his knee, and while he wasn’t his pant leg was pur crying, he did look distressed.

“Oh, no!” I said in a gentle voice as I rushed over to him. He looked to be about eight or ten at most. “You alright?”

He looked up to me with similar dark eyes to the ones I was used to looking into when I stared at the princes, but he didn’t say anything.

Perhaps he was afraid of me. He didn’t know me, after all. I gave him a smile that I hoped would set him at ease as I sat down on my knees next to him on the path.

From here, I could see that he had a cut on his leg. It wasn’t too deep, but it did look painful. Thankfully, I had placed an extra bandage in my pocket earlier, in case my hand started bleeding again.

So, I pulled it out of my pocket and showed it to him. “Do you want me to put this on your cut? Will that make you feel better?” It needed to be cleaned, but at least it wouldn’t bleed all down his leg to his sock as he went inside.

Again, he said nothing, but as I opened the bandage and put it on him, he didn’t try to pull away from me. I smiled at him and said, “There you go. All better. What’s your name? I’m Ciana.”

Before he could respond, I heard the sound of footsteps coming up the path from the castle and turned my attention in that direction, startled and afraid it might be Theo. I doubted he would’ve followed me, but it was possible he had just come this way, and I didn’t want to see him..

I saw that it was Warren coming my way and contemplated getting up and darting away. I really didn’t want to speak to him at the moment. Not that I disliked him or anything, but I wasn’t in the mood to be friendly.

With a sigh, I turned back to the boy, but… he was gone.
