[Angel's Perspective]
Elliot stared at me blankly, stunned by my direct refusal.
For a moment, I couldn't bear it. "If you have something to say, say it now."
"But your clothes are still—" Elliot began.
"Are you going to tell me or not?" I was getting impatient with Elliot's attitude.
"I…" Elliot said as if he had made a decision. "I want you to stay."
I lowered my eyes and looked at him. "This is Donald's decision. I can't stay just because I want to."
"That's because you hurt his mate, the innocent girl," Elliot said.
"Innocent?" I sneered. "What right does she have to be Donald's mate? If Donald dares to bring her back, do I need to tell you how much trouble it will cause in the royal family?"
Elliot was silent for a moment. Then he said, "In any case, that's His Majesty's decision. It's none of our business. Angel, let's not do anything beyond our duty. Go apologize to His Majesty now and plead with him. He'll allow you to stay on account of your past."
