Seeing that Sylvia was gaping at his face in astonishment, Mikel shifted his gaze to look at her and chuckled.
"So something did happen that night…" His voice trailed, a grin surfacing on his devilishly handsome face.
Sylvia's heart sank. That was still the only upper hand she had and she didn't want to lose it at any cost.
So she hurriedly tried to explain and avert his attention. "Please forgive me, your highness. Please. I am so sorry."
"I was just so scared by that big magical beast that I ran away in fear without thinking."
"I am sorry. As your slave, I should have thrown my body in front of you and protected you, but instead, I ran away."
"I deserve all the punishment in the world. I have let you down. I am very sorry." Sylvia started blabbering, throwing out words one after the other, none of which were true.
"Oh… is that so?" Mikel grinned. He was amused at this woman playing chameleon.
