SIXTY SIX: A Little Walk

"Let me show you, Kel!"

Leif's eyes lit up as he suddenly had an idea.

From his belt, he produced a small silver key and held it up excitedly as he began walking to where Kel's chain was attached to the wall.

"It's stuffy in here, right? So why don't we go for a little walk?" the boy babbled as he worked on unlocking the chain. "That way I can show you how I took revenge for you."

Are you kidding me? Kel's jaw dropped as the boy grasped the end of the chain as if it were a leash.

Was he really planning on walking her like a dog?

If Leif noticed her dismay, he pretended not to. Instead, he frowned thoughtfully as he studied her attire.

"I'll have a shawl and some shoes brought for you," he nodded, snapping his fingers loudly.

"Your Highness?" In an instant, three guards burst into the room.

While the red-haired boy explained the items he wanted brought, Kel felt her face flushing.
