For a moment there, lots of things were running through my mind. What's it going to be like in there? What if I'm right and Leonis is planning on mocking me in front of people? What if I'll be treated like I was being treated in the circus? All these questions filled my head.
But then I felt the slight brush of his palm upon my back, gently urging me forward. And it seemed as if that small brush of his palm sent a wave of reassurance into me. I suddenly had faith in him. I don't know why, but I wanted to believe that he wouldn't do something like that.
And I'll trust him. Just for tonight. Just so I won't give myself a heart attack trying to figure out what his plans and motives are.
A sudden admiring whistle sounds from somewhere and I turn my head to my right. Laurius Rein is coming from that direction, and he had whistled. And the whistling, I'm now realizing was directed to me.
