My fists clenched as I gulped at the tensions rising within the room. Someone was coming and the loud footsteps were being heard nearing us. Merilyn was panicking and so was I. Tristan had still not replied and now I was a bit thankful for it.
"What now?" Merilyn mouthed to me and I shook my head having no idea what to do about it myself. I bit my lip and my hands fisted the sides of the skirts as the man neared.
From where we stood, Merilyn was the one he would see first which gave me an idea. I knew I had seen something in from the moment I had entered tonight, it had to be here.
The footsteps neared and were almost outside the cell. "Ah, you awake, boy? The prince wants to take off some heat, you would be perfect for it." He grinned as he came into our line of sight and his eyes image provide into when he took in Merilyn who was breathing heavily at the site of the men and almost in tears.
