"Yes, Your Majesty," I replied with a soft smile.
smiling was their courtesy right as Aliyan had described to me before. After dinner, Salama went over to her mother and sister and I was left alone with her father. The scariest-looking man alive. It was a major scar on his face. It had left some kind of dent in him, not literally.
"Has your father been in contact with you yet?"
"No sir."
"Please, don't be so polite it's dad to you as long as you take care of her."
"I will sir. Can I ask you a question?"
"Go ahead," he replied lighting his cigarette.
"Did you use our marriage to gain access to the city?"
"It's a precautionary method, your father's cat-and-mouse game is starting to exhaust me.
"I`m giving him seven days, he better show up."
"He gave me seven days to kill Salama."
He dropped his cigarette...
I doubt that's a good sign.
