To Liya, not even her own aunt, the Northern Duchess, was as trustworthy as the Knight she had personally ennobled.
Back then, Levi could have tied her up and handed her over to Damon for a fortune, but he didn't. He was even less likely to do so now.
Kale looked as if he wanted to speak but held his tongue.
He had been temporarily promoted by Duke Fulina and appointed as Liya's personal knight, tasked with ensuring her safety.
He couldn't just stand by and watch as Liya prepared to leave alone with the Lord of High Cliff Castle.
However, Liya's resolve put him in a difficult position.
"Knight, if I'd wanted it back then, I would be Miss Liya's Guardian Knight. And you? You'd probably still be someone's attendant."
Levi just smiled, revealing a piece of his and Liya's private history.
