214 Return of dead

"I have been looking for you," Santiago said, panting. "You scared me, Red." 

His gaze then fell on Giselle and nodded in acknowledgement. The latter smiled and walked away. 

It had been more than half an hour since she left his side to go to the washroom and hadn't come back. 

Although he knew that this palace was the safest place in the whole country, he couldn't help but worry about her. 

What if she fell? What if she fainted? All these thoughts were troubling him. 

Now that he saw her alright, he felt he could breathe now. 

They returned to the ballroom and bid goodbye to everyone once the pastry ended. 

"What were you talking about?"Santiago had said when he opened the car door for her. It was quite late and now they were going back home. 

"Nothing special," Persephone whispered. "Just discussing the crazy king and his wicked schemes."
