Note: This chapter's only sweet moment between Kai and Sylas~~~
The black-robed guard with a black hood moved down gently. He was cautious when he saw Kai retreat with a frightened look, sensing the tension in the young man's body.
"Don't be afraid. I am Prince Sylas' guard. I have come to take you to him," the guard said. He stopped a good distance away from Kai but made sure his voice was clear, firm, and reassuring.
Hearing the name Sylas, Kai immediately froze. He stood up straight, staring at the guard with wide eyes, full of curiosity and a little confusion.
"Come with me," the guard said softly, understanding Kai's anxiety as if he could read his every heartbeat.
Kai looked around. He had his own trauma with men in guard uniforms. Several times, he had unpleasant experiences, which made him wary whenever he saw dark uniforms and decisive movements.
