Demitri led the way downstairs, to the hall, then eventually to the grand exit. The curious glances from every palace servant didn't escape me. I could almost hear their thoughts screaming in their faces: Who is she? Why did the crown prince brought her to his chamber and received such a special treatment? How is he related to the prince?
Didn't know you can read minds now, my lady, Raja interrupted.
The questions are obvious in their faces, Raja. No need to be a mind reader.
"Here," Demitri offered a hand to support me upon entering carriage.
"Thank you," I said a bit coldly and settled myself inside at once. He then sat beside me.
"You could have just let the coach send me home. It is an honor to receive such privilege but I guess it is too much," I said, low enough for both of us to hear.
"You said it is an honor, right? Focus on that part then and enjoy the privilege I'm giving you," he replied cooly.
