397 THE REASON BEHIND THE MEETING

Just thinking about Veronica's pain made his fists clenched in anger.

'I will never get hurt. As long as she is with me, I won't let anyone lay a finger on her and make her cry. I'll get rid of these filthy traffickers once and for all.'

The Queen mentioned, "Master of the magic Tower seems too worried about my subjects. I'm grateful to have you."

'What is she up to?' Arthur looked at her without a word.

She smiled at Arthur and continued, "I hope it's nothing personal. You look pretty vexed to me."

'This sly fox,' Arthur cursed her inwardly. "I tend to take some things personally; especially when it's my mission to protect people."

"I never saw you taking things personally." The Queen's lips stretched further. "It must be something related to you. Personally."

'Where do you want to go with that, old hag?' Arthur smirked. "Unlike someone else, I take things in my heart."
