Aella had never heard a graver silence than the one that reigned in the sitting room of the Glatimor's residence.
The three individuals which were seated in the room with her all turned towards her with the same look on their faces and she swallowed the lump of saliva so hard that she was sure it echoed across the walls.
She had just let out a huge confession of love for Bane and now, she didn't know what next to do.
It was the first thing that came to her mouth so she could prevent Bane from revealing who he truly was to her mother and she somehow had to cover it up.
"W-What?!" the Baroness yelped with apparent shock in her deep brown eyes.
Aella was fretting inwardly but she kept a straight face on so her mother wouldn't let on to her lie.
Just a slip of her expression would jeopardise everything she had worked for so far.
"Y-Yes, I…" she turned towards Bane who was staring down at her with furrowed eyebrows.
