ARC 3 - Blood Queen Part 35

◇

Just when I was passing him, Leon grabbed my wrist, and that made me turn to him.

"Wait... Elena..." He said as he grabbed my arm.

When I turned to him, I wasn't smiling, and was even showing a stoic, annoyed face. "What is it?" I said in an equally annoyed tone.

"Elena..." Leon called out my name again. And, he called it so sadly. Even his face showed all the sadness he was feeling. His face showed that he was wronged so badly.

"Haa." I sighed. "Let go of me." I said.

"Elena..." Leon called out again.

"Let go of me and let's talk properly. I'll give you a chance to talk. I'll listen to you for a moment."

When I said that, "Elena..." Leon called out again, but this time, his tone was obviously lighter. He sounded relieved, perhaps because I at least was willing to entertain him and listen to his words for a while.

Leon also finally let me go.

I walked deeper into the room and sat down on the sofa.
