Crown Prince Arin's voice snapped Iria out of her stupor. Someone was here? She turned to the balcony and she didn't saw anyone but a shadow. There was indeed someone there! Was it... Prince Orius? She wasn't sure.
Arin gestured her to keep quiet by putting his finger on his lips and she nodded. Then he grabbed the handle of his sword, ready to unsheathe anytime. Slowly, he walked towards the balcony and not a single sound of his footsteps could be heard.
Anxiety rushed through Commander Iria. If the person on the balcony was really Prince Orius, Arin mustn't catch him. She should avoid that at all costs and if not, the consequences will be huge!
