"Maru?! What are you doing here?" Cinderella's eyes widened as she looked at my figure descending the marble stairs.
"Cindy, I..." I was speechless as she looked at me from head to toe, her eyes demanding answers at once.
"Why are you in Saito's castle?! Answer me, Maru! A pig like you has no right to enter a place like this! Is this where you have been hiding for the past years?! Trying to pass off yourself as a lady in waiting or a damsel in distress?!" Cinderella's venomous tone ridiculed me as I froze in place.
Heavy footsteps approached us, I know it was Rin. It sounds weird but I have a good instinct for when he is near, even his footsteps are distinct in my ears, and his presence that extends into the room he is in overwhelms me.
"What brings you here in my castle, without so much as an invitation from me?" His thunderous voice rang in our ears as his footsteps abated, my eyes locked with his, and I knew instantly that he was furious.
