I hear someone taking a loud gulp after King Luthais gathered our attention with the intense, heart-stopping slam on the table. We had our eyes on him while he looked coldly at the unfortunate being that sat on the opposite side of him.
Dimitri pulls his hood from his back and slumps on his chair while we await the words of the king. To our surprise, he clears his throat and changes his face in an instant to a calmer version.
"Rose has been staying in the castle as my guest," he solely replies.
Castien nods, "it's lovely to meet you, Rose. I wonder which town you come from since I have never seen you around Cromer."
"She came from my town," the man with a beard and rounded glasses responds, glancing at me to deliver the message.
Thankfully, I grasped what he's trying to tell me and nodded, "I came from his town," I replied lowly, my throat itching and agitated.
