---- Chapter 482 T stayed outside...

he told me not to follow.

Alexia decided to stick with her earlier decision.And all the hope vanished in Adrians eyes and he drops back in his seat to sigh.

Of course.

Why would he tell you.

It was low but Alexia heard it.

And it did tighten her chest when it shouldn't She just sat there.

The silence stretched between them, heavy and suffocating.

How..

how is he now? Alexia gathers the courage to ask when Adrian sighs again.

He is holding up.

The best doctors are trying to curb the infection.

The next few hours are very crucial for him.

---- Chapter 482 Adrian pauses to continue.

And for you.

They will decide your fate as well.

Damien is the only one who can vouch for you.

Until then...

Alexias chest tightened and her hands start shaking.

She knew what was coming.

What did she expect? That they will welcome her with open arms.

Yes, she may not be telling them the entire truth but she has her reasons.

If they cant trust her.

Neither can she.

Adrian reached for a dagger encashed in a transparent bag.

This...

He said placing it on the table.

The metal falls with a clank.

was found with him.

Your handprints are on it.

---- Alexias breath hitched.

Scout found you with Damien...

with his one leg cut and the dagger here...

I am afraid, No matter what, but we cant trust you or your story till Damien confirms it.

So until then, I hope you will understand my lack of hospitality.

The tension in the room was suffocating, Alexia barely registered the sound of the tent flap opening as a guard stepped in.

Let me know if you remember something.

Or you have something to give me.

We can discuss again.

With one dismissive look at her, Adrian turns his attention towards the guard who just entered Lordie...

The guard bows.

Escort the woman to the dungeons.

Yes Sir.

---- Alexia didnt argue.

She had a lot to say...

but it felt wrong.

She didnt wanted to do something that may get Damien in trouble.

The guards steps in front of her with chains and Alexia offers him her arms.

Her wrists are locked with metal.

Adrian didnt even bother her a second glance.

Turning his back on her, he looks away to get back to the pending work on his table.

And just like that Alexia feels herself getting taken away.

The weight of the kinds judgement bore down on her.noveldrama

Dungeon.

The place sounded cruel...

but there was no escape.

In the world they live in? Everyone is an enemy unless proved innocent.

Alexia tried but she couldn't shake the bitter taste of disappointment.

She had hoped for something different here, for some glimmer of trust, warmth and kindness.
