"I— Where are you going?" Rosalind asked. She was curious about it. For a few seconds, he did not say a word.
"I have to go to the walls," he answered.
Clearly, he was lying. If this was the normal days, she would have let his arm go, nod and smile then bid him goodbye. She had no right to ask him about the lies. However, a sudden courage inside her made her say, "Stay."
Rosalind blinked. She was prepared to be rejected, for him to leave the room, to leave her alone.
To her surprise, however, he stopped moving. Then he smiled.
"I— I have more questions," Rosalind could not help but stutter. It almost sounded absurd and pathetic. However, she could no longer deny the fact that her attraction was growing by the day.
"Of course but I believe it is best to finish this conversation in your room where the light is a bit better."
For some reason, that statement made her blush.
How pathetic, she thought inwardly.
