Chapter 683 Strange looks

Chapter 683 Strange looks

It was late when we returned to the castle.

I knew that it was late already because of how dark it was outside, but I didn't expect it to be this late.

It was already close to midnight according to the clock in my room when I returned to the castle.

I had thought that the king would summon me, but it seemed like he was letting me get some rest first before that.

I was grateful since even though I had been sleeping before, it wasn't the good kind of sleep. My head was still aching, which I assumed came from me being knocked out by the baron that kidnapped me.

He had admitted that he hadn't been subtle and had knocked me out with his subordinates before carrying me out of the castle.

I just wished that they hadn't hit as hard so I wouldn't have the pounding headache that I currently had, but there was nothing that I could do about that. The doctor had already checked me and said that there were no signs of concussion, so the only thing that I could do to cure it was to sleep it off.

So I had to sleep and see if it got better in the morning.

But before I could go to sleep, there was a knock on the door.

I was surprised to see someone visiting me this late at night, but I found that it was a familiar face.

It was the fourth prince.

He had rushed back to the capital after taking care of the other princes, but I was surprised that he was meeting me instead of resting. After all, it certainly wouldn't have been easy to kill those brothers of his, so I thought that he would need some time to recover after that.

But here he was, standing outside my door.

I naturally couldn't keep him waiting outside, so I let him come in.

After he came in, there was a person that suddenly appeared and fell to her knees.

But as he was leaving, I could see that he was giving me the same strange look as before.

He wasn't looking at my face, he was still looking at that place in between my legs as if he was trying to see something.

I just didn't know how to feel about that...

So I just ignored it for now and went to sleep.

Only when the morning came...

...

As expected, I was summoned by the king the next morning.

The guards had all returned after heading out with the fourth prince, so there were no security issues with the castle anymore. I was able to move freely through the castle again, so I went to see the king as I was summoned.

But there were strange looks that were cast in my direction as I moved through the castle.

It was only minor at first since there were only a few people outside my room, but as I moved to the part of the castle that had more and more people, I could see that there were more people that were looking in my direction.

The strangest part of the way that they looked at me was that they were all looking at my lower half.

They weren't looking at me directly, they were just looking at that place in between my legs.

It was almost as if they were looking at something specific.

I could guess what they were looking at, but then I heard something that confirmed it.

"I heard that it's really, really big...It's almost like a tree trunk."
