"Someone else?" Bane raised an eyebrow as he asked.
"But who?"
Images of the pale-looking lady came to Aella's head as she recalled the brutal way in which she was murdered.
She couldn't even guess if she was alive or not but the manner in which she glared at her still brought fright to Aella's heart.
Thinking about it now, the lady was on the yellow frock that Bane had given her the first time she got here and she might not remember much but the lady seemed to have a noble face like she was of high birth.
As strange as it was, Aella felt like she knew that lady. She hadn't seen her before but that was how she had pictured her to be.
"The former lady of this Castle," she blurted out almost involuntarily.
Bane seemed to be frozen in his position as though the shock of what he heard couldn't make him move a limb.
