Chapter 201 King Kal Retreated

I left the hospital tent quickly, trying to keep the heat out of my face. Ethan had been so quick to dismiss me, telling me to just go do what I needed to do, and I felt embarrassed for even being so concerned about him to begin with.

Especially when he was wearing the ring that he had given to Madalynn.

I knew he didn’t ever have feelings for her, but it was still hard to swallow that he once planned to marry her. It wasn’t fair, I got it, but my emotion didn’t always agree with my logic.

I sighed and headed around the camp, doing the chores that I’d listed off to him, but also doing other ones as well.

My goal was to try to forget about Ethan for the time being and concentrate on other urgent things.

Now, I knew how he had felt when I used to dismiss him and ignore him when he was the Rogue King, and I was his prisoner. Granted, the situation was different then, but still… being rejected hurt.

“Are you all right, my Queen?” one of the citizens who was helping in the supply closet asked me as we stacked supplies next to one another.

“I’m fine,” I reassured him, but it wasn’t true. My mind couldn’t stay off of Ethan. I just kept thinking about everything that had happened.

He took the risk to go after Madalynn because he thought I was in danger. I knew Ethan cared about me. He’d done a lot to help me and support me; he had even given his life for me. But I still wasn’t sure exactly how he felt about me.

Was it guilt? Was it because of Rowan? Or was it because of… maybe he did have feelings for me?

But then… if that was the case, why had he been keeping his distance? I felt he interacted with me just like he interacted with other people. When I was just in there with him, why did he dismiss me so quickly?

It was confusing, and it left me bewildered as I finished up in the supply tent and went back to the other medical tent to check on patients there.

As I walked over, I thought about the other dream I’d had, the one in the Moon Goddess’s temple.

“Have you ever loved me?”

If Damian was attacking, where was Soren? Was he safe? I had sent scouts to track him down as soon as I knew he was gone, and I was awaiting their reports.

I prayed to the Moon Goddess that all was well and that Soren would be back to us soon.

Over the next couple of days, many of our injured warriors recovered from their wounds. Ethan was one of them. He never stayed in bed long

I smiled at him when I saw him, but I kept my distance. I reminded myself I didn’t need to look foolish if I could avoid it, and Ethan had a way of making me seem like a silly girl.

Another two days went by, I received the confirmation that King Kal had indeed retreated.copy right hot novel pub
