He was so surprised that his face could not contain the shock. Even if he wanted to pretend he did not know who Elara was, he could no longer do that as his face had given him away.
"You look shocked, I will take it to mean you know who she is, you guys have met haven't you?" The man asked
"um...sire_" Torak wanted to lie but he could not bring the words out of his mouth, he had no choice but to tell the truth. "Yes sire"
"How well do you know her?" The man asked again.
He answered trying to hide the fear and guilt in his eyes "Quite well" if this man knew that he knew her well enough to have kissed her more than twice, it would be his head on the dinner plate.
"I see"
He hurriedly explained "we practically grew up together and we attended the same High school, we met a few days ago after being separated for years"
