Chapter 68 He Still Loves Her

• Nelly’s POV
• “...Is Lucy really a human?” I didn’t expect that question even a bit and I was shocked that he asked that. Realizing that my facial expression may betray me, I changed it as soon as I could. It is not my place to reveal who Lucy is no matter how much he may still love her. “Of course she is, why would you think otherwise?” I asked, frowning at him to make it look like I was genuine. "I don't know Nelly. I think it's just a feeling I'm having," he said shrugging. "Well, you are a royal lion, you obviously have the ability to know if someone is a supernatural or not.
• Couldn't you have smelled that from her to know who she really is?" I asked him. He cleared his throat. "Well, she only smells human to me, but it could be the same case as yours? What if she is masked with strong magical powers like you are?" Oh oh! I didn't see that coming. He is a smart lion. I looked the other way to avoid showing him my facial expression. “Is it possible for you to check it out for me?” his voice sounded and I then turned around to look at him wondering why he was so eager to check who she was.
