Chapter 104 Inconvenient Reward

• “Please lift your face so that I can see if clearly,” the king instructed in a tone that sounded so soothing that it surprised me.
• “Yes, Your Majesty,” I replied politely.
• I bit down on the inside of my lower lip to steel my nerves before I lifted my face. Immediately, I could feel the king’s blue eyes on my face as he stared at me intently. His blue eyes stared closely at my face as if he was appraising its worth and I began sweating more profusely than before as my anxiousness turned slightly into fear. I had no idea why the king had summoned me here or why he wanted to meet with me.
