Life for Love01 Cage

I feel so dizzy. What's going on?

I opened my eyes in a daze. Before I could focus my vision, I heard a strange woman's voice exclaiming with joy, "Your Majesty, the girl is awake!"

Your Majesty?! Have I been captured back to the royal palace again?

I shivered and tried to get up, but only found my whole body weak and feeble, like recovering from a serious illness.

"You all can leave for now."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

This male voice was like a thunderbolt, instantly exploding in my mind.

It's him! When did he become the king?!

The excessive shock left my brain blank.

"Rie, how do you feel?" the man asked.

His tone was concerned, but he didn't come closer.

"Not good." I snapped out of my shock and deliberately turned my head away, not looking at him.

I used to yearn for this face. But now, I just wanted him to be erased from my memory!

The man sighed almost inaudibly, but in the end, he walked to the side of my bed, and I immediately felt a familiar breath surrounding me.

Yes, after all, we have lived together for nearly ten years. How could we not be familiar...

"Rie, stay by my side, and I will take good care of you..." the man hesitated to say.
