On the way to the dungeon where Alith was being held... I had one thing on my mind.
That was too close.
Too close.
I lost my composure for a moment, I started saying the first thing that came to my mind. But... King Faelan could have killed me on the spot if he wanted to, if he didn't pity me, or if he didn't realize that I was in a similar situation to his own.
It would have taken a single movement of his hand for me to lose my life there.
He didn't.
I should be grateful... I guess.
I sighed a little without the guards noticing. I was really relieved not to be in the same company as the king for now.
Anyway, I got what I wanted.
This way, at least I'll have a chance to clear my own doubts. I won't be taking any chances.
I was thinking this and that... when I saw Sith approaching me from the end of the corridor we were traveling down.
