As Xaden led me out of the hall I couldn't Uther a single word.
Why?
Why had he just stood to defend me?
It made absolutely no sense to me.
I was led away and soon I don't feel Auburn and Cherry's glaring at me anymore.
The moment we made it to a private corner, I hastily withdrew from him.
"What was that about?" I asked him.
He blinked at me, taken aback.
"I didn't like the way they spoke to you." He stated point blank.
I hadn't expected that response either.
Xaden who always wanted to hide me.
The very same Xaden who despised me was for some reason or the other taking my back.
Was it guilty?
Was it perhaps because the guilt of losing our child lurked deep within him.
It made me angry.
"There is no need for that." I said adjusting the imaginary wrinkles on my dress. "I can take care of myself."
"Jasmine you don't understand this castle." He said and then looked around me. "I'm here with you but I won't be here for long."
I blinked in disbelief.
