Chapter 61. Carrots and Maps

Juzarh

Leiya POV

“Could you help me with these?”

I looked up from the book I was reading to notice Lyle hand me with a tray with carrots and a knife lying beside them. I gently closed the book, placing it on the table before pulling the tray closer to myself.

“What…what should I do with them?”

I stuttered as I looked at them with puzzling eyes.

“What do you mean what should you do with them?” he turned sharply to me. “Chop them up,” he almost yelled at me.

When I didn't respond, my eyes juggling between him and the tray before me, his eyes widened in realization.

“You…” he paused, looking at me, waiting for me to interrupt him, but I didn't.
