"She lost consciousness right after she woke up," Draven replied blandly.
"Are you sure she woke up, Sire?"
"She was sleeping in my arms when she woke up. But then she saw me and passed out," he replied without any change in his expression as if what he said was not a big deal and cleared her doubts.
Speechless, Leeora pulled out an awkward smile. She could easily imagine what happened. Though it was an obvious reaction from Ember given Draven's scary impression in her mind, as a king it was disrespectful to him.
"S-Sire, the poor child must have been scared. Please forgive her."
Draven changed the subject as if he didn't care about that human's reaction who was comfortably using his bed.
"With her passing the council's test, as per her wish, you can take her back to Ronan," Draven instructed, returning his interest to his pet owl as if to say she's being dismissed.
