Chapter 17: Mom.
Elizabeth's POV
Victoria came back to my side, as I was trying to ease my mind by playing with the horses. The scattered bodies were not making it easy for me to be at peace.
"Your highness, are you still able to continue traveling to the Duke's estate?" she asked me, looking worried, there was a tinge of blood right on the leg of her uniform and I frowned. I don't know how this woman can get worried for another person when she's hurt.
The wound from her leg must've been when she kicked the mercenary over by the tree.
"I am fit to travel but... you're..." I pointed at her leg and she grimaced, now only noticing the blood and wound over her leg. Victoria holds the hem of her skin and hides it from my sight.
"I am fit to travel as well, your highness. The sooner we get out of the road and into your uncle's estate you'll be..." (Victoria) seemed unsure of herself, biting her lip and her eyes couldn't look at mine.
Seeds of doubt have already sprung.
