Adnan retired to the king's room. Locking the door behind him, he removed the mask on his face. He took deep breaths to calm his nerves.
Soren's sister arriving in Arendar made him nervous. The image of how the servant was killed by her ladies replayed in Adnan's mind. That could be him, as soon as Ameera finds out that he killed Soren. He would be done for.
Adnan stepped into the room. Very nervous to sit or lie on the bed. He paced up and down in the room. Strange thoughts drove him out of his mind.
The worst part was the king. Javier was acting weird. Adnan found himself in quite a pickle. On one side was the demon princess that came in search of her brother and on the other hand was the king who wasn't acting himself.
Adnan had no idea when the king would decide to kill him. Javier might have stopped the council from taking action against him but that didn't mean he was safe. Adnan halted and stared at his reflection in the mirror.
