At the gate, the soldier walked through the path made by the crowd and then a group of people followed him through. Then they all walked towards Elizabeth.
The man who took the lead was very tall with a dark expression as he took big steps. Who else could it be but James?
Though he was dozens of meters away, she still saw him at a glance among so many people.
James was not only handsome, but born with a great figure. Being in a high and leading position for years, he looked rather powerful and nonnegligible.
Some, especially young women at the gate, couldn't help looking at him. It was obvious that they were amazed.
But Elizabeth couldn't notice anything else at all. She even forgot whether she was in danger. She didn't answer either when Leo asked whether James was here for her.
At this moment, James was the only one in her eyes. Even if the people following him were all men in suits with long legs, she could only see him.
He was wearing black trousers, a white shirt and a long black buckles windbreaker. The leather shoes on his feet were shiny. He made his hair, but it was a little messy at the moment.
After walking through the path, James took a few more steps and suddenly paused as he saw Elizabeth. There was some distance between them, but Elizabeth could tell that he slightly frowned.
As James stopped, people behind him stopped as well.
A few seconds later, James started to walk again and went straight to Elizabeth. But this time, he walked obviously faster.
Though Elizabeth didn't answer, Leo wasn't angry. He looked ahead and suddenly understood. Leo raised his eyebrows, and a smile flashed on his face.
Elizabeth couldn't move her feet and she was so frozen. Her heart was still beating rapidly. Although she didn't know it was because she was in fear or moved. She recalled the moment he came when she was kidnapped by Josephine a few days before. The whole world seemed to light up because of his arrival.
James's legs were long, and he walked fast. The hem of his windbreaker, which was not buttoned, was lifted up and then fell down repeatedly.
Elizabeth didn't miss anything about him. For a moment, a sentence suddenly flashed in her mind, "Riding the stars, the handsome prince came across the universe only for me."
The distance between them was neither too long nor too short. What had happened between them flashed one by one in her mind. Every moment he appeared like a knight. Whatever happened, he could always protect her, take her away safe and sound and build her a peaceful world.
At the moment, she felt nervous and flustered as he came to her again.
She was indeed happy and touched. All he gave her made her feel that she would let go of all the resentment and anger for him.
She got choked up and felt tears coming up. But she felt warm and happy at the same moment. It was all the good things that he had brought her in her mind.
James came closer and closer. Elizabeth looked at him blankly, only feeling that his eyes were extremely complicated. He seemed to be angry, anxious, excited, and happy.
Before Elizabeth figured it out, James had arrived in front of her. He was as tall and straight as a green pine. He looked handsome, but without any smile on his face.
