I was afraid to turn around because I thought he was the guy in the black hoodie. Until I heard the sound I was always used to hearing,
"What are you doing here! Mila!"
It was my mother's comforting voice. I was extremely relieved when I heard her voice, but I still didn't want to turn my head. Because she was probably going to scold me for walking around the castle alone.
But then I remembered that, compared to my father, her anger was nothing compared to him, so I slowly turned my head and said,
"I was just looking for my room, mommy."
She gave me a suspicious look and said,
"Good trick, young lady. But you don't think I'm gonna buy that trick, don't you?"
Then I bowed down my head and said,
"I know that. I'm sorry, I was just wondering why my dad called people, that's all.."
My mother reached out her hand to me, to hold her hand and said,
"Since you didn't ask me that question, I think you heard your father speak."
