(Azriel POV)
Azriel woke up the next morning with a heavy heart. Spending time in with Ashmeer was becoming increasingly difficult. She had only two days to go before the betrothal. She was becoming increasingly anxious as the date moved nearer.
She paced her room waiting for Aria to appear with her breakfast. But no one came that day. She sat and paced the room wondering how to ask for Aria. She waited, her eyes on the door all the time.
Finally she heard footsteps and watched Nuria walk in with her tea.
"Where is Aria?" she asked her.
Nuria looked puzzled and said, "Is she not here?"
"No....I wanted to meet her and tell her all. I met him in the silver forest and aunt Nuria something happened there. I am very worried."
Nuria's brows furrowed. "What do you mean that Aria is not here? Where did you meet her brother? What happened? Speak slowly Azriel. I can barely understand a word you say."
