A smug smile spreads through his face and I realize that maybe coming here wasn’t such a good idea after all. It’s too secluded. No one would see or hear us here!
I stand up and help Cecilia do the same and we curtsy together.
“Tell Rien,” I whisper to her quickly when I bend to help her again. All this time Dargen is not taking his eyes off me.
“Mira, long time no see!” he smirks, coming closer and then throws an angry look at the old lady, “Get out!”
“Your Highness!” she struggles to curtsy again even with her cane, but still does it perfectly and then leaves swiftly. Hopefully to look for Rien.
“Your Highness,” I greet him and he says nothing. He slowly walks around me, like a predator. Which he definitely is! Watching me, testing my patience, enjoying the whole thing!
