Rock was in a daze as he sat on the ground. He was imprisoned in a small cell inside the dungeon, with his limbs chained with a steel chain.
Normally, he would be able to break free without much problem knowing his prowess, but that muscle relaxant was very effective in suppressing his power, making him almost as powerless as a human. Thus, his cell was left unguarded because there was no point in guarding a man with zero chance to break free.
He stared at the ground and only had one thing in mind.
’What about Princess Swan? Is she alright? What if that bitch Jade poisoned her as well? Is she safe under His Majesty’s protection?’
Rock was still wondering whether his care towards the Princess was due to fascination, love, or simply a sense of obligation as her protector.
Nevertheless, he wanted her safe.
’If only I can be pardoned, then I will protect her with all my life. I want a second chance,’ Rock thought, despite knowing the chance of him being pardoned was slim to none. The fact that he didn’t get killed was already lenient enough for his Alpha after what he had done.
As he stared at the ground, he saw a bright light from the corner of his eyes.
He looked up and saw Princess Swan, whose body was hovering slightly above the ground as she was covered in a gentle light. Her eyes were closed, and she cupped her hands together like a praying maiden. Her hair had the same glow he saw at the lake a few hours ago when he attacked her.
However, the gentle light didn’t try to fight him back this time. The light was warm and made him feel at ease.
Rock stared unblinkingly at Princess Swan, who suddenly appeared in front of him. He closed and opened his eyes a few times to make sure he wasn’t hallucinating.
All of his doubts perished when Princess Swan opened her eyes and stared at him with her innocent doe-eyes.
"Rock..."
Clang! Clang! Clang!
As his name was called by his Princess, Rock tried to reach her but couldn’t due to the chains. Left with no other option, he tried to lower his posture as much as possible to show his deep respect and regret towards her.
He opened his mouth to apologize for all the hurt he caused, but his throat had been damaged by a mute poison. All he could do was bow before her.
Meanwhile, Swan’s heart was aching seeing a kind man who was full of life had been reduced to... this.
Rock looked haggard and weak as if he had undergone a painful torture just now.
Swan didn’t know why this dream was so realistic, but even in a dream, she still wanted to help Rock.
The voice in her head told her to hug Rock to save him. Thus, she did just as she was ordered. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
