Adeline was befuddled. She gawked at Elias's absurd words. What did he mean by that? "Towards the end of the room, in one of the corners, there's a double-door. I saw my Aunt go t-through there…"
"I know this castle inside and out. There are only an exit and an entrance to the ballroom."
None of this was making sense to Adeline. Things were getting more confusing by the minute. First, it was Aunt Eleanor denying the existence of the dance, and now, there was the theory of disappearing doors. Was anything in this castle normal?
"I can show you where it is," Adeline eagerly said. She pulled away from him. For once, it was with ease, for he was not holding her as tightly.
Adeline pointed towards the place they came from. "I'm not a liar, Elias."
Elias raised a brow. Did she want to lead him? No one dared to walk ahead of him. It was dangerous having their backs' exposed to the likes of him.
"I never said you were, darling."
