'Why is he looking at me like that?'
Leomord was looking at him as if he had done something wrong.
As if he had committed a crime.
It was infuriating.
The knight's eyes never left him, filled with suspicion that wasn't even being hidden anymore.
Most people would have lowered their gaze by now.
Most people knew better than to stare down a prince.
But Leomord wasn't most people.
"With all due respect, Your Highness, I've already asked once, and it's unlikely you would act so strangely…but did something happen? Why did Captain Ezra pass out?" Leomord asks with furrowed eyebrows and narrowed eyes.
'How bold.'
Helios kept his expression pleasant, though something cold stirred beneath the surface.
'Should I find a way to have him executed?'
The thought came and went as naturally as breathing.
It was disrespectful to assume such a thing.
Even more insulting to look at Helios as though he would ever do anything to harm Ezra.
He would never.
