It didn't take too long for Rosalind to realize that she had asked the wrong question. She immediately wished she had the power to take it back.
She offered a wry smile to the Duke.
How did he recognize her? She couldn't help but asked herself.
"I could ask you the same thing," the Duke said. "But that is none of my business. At least… not yet.," His lips lifted into a smirk.
She frowned and turned towards the array of books that were safely tucked onto shelves that were double her size. This bookstore was only small on the outside. She hadn't realized how big it was until she arrived on the second floor where she had the Duke.
She pursed her lips and started walking towards the next shelf.
"May I know what type of book are you looking for?" he asked.
She hesitated for a few seconds before she uttered, "I want to know more about the Dark Lord."
"The books about him had been banned and forbidden in most empires."
