You Like Him
"Why would you want me out?! I want to stay here and fight for our kingdom with our warriors!" Xenia stubbornly declared with a frown. "I will never leave as you suggested! And even then, I'll be sure to come back!"
"Hmm… Thinking about it, I understand from where you're coming from, Brother-in-law," Darius hummed.
Hearing the king's words, Xenia's eyes turned to Darius as she mused, 'Brother-in-law? Since when did they become so close to talk casually?'
"I will keep Xen safe while she's here," Darius cooly pointed out. "However, when I think that the situation will likely be too dangerous for her, then I will have her sent to Cordon immediately…"
On the sidelines, Xenia found herself shifting her gaze back and forth between her brother and Darius. Once more, she was being talked about as if she was a prized trophy, and she didn't like it one bit.
How dare these two talk in front of her and come to an agreement like she wasn't even around?!
