The Seventh Protector Quotes

“Are you okay?" King Warren asked. "Are you wounded?"

“You look...well."
"Because I am behaving the way you want?" I asked with a sarcastic tone. But I knew I did. And that was what he wanted from me. Act like a Protector who had been living in the palace. Not to be an outsider.

I glared at him. "Is that a compliment? If so, that was terrible."
King Warren's hand went back to his neck and he cleared his throat. "Only the truth.”
