A sigh of relief unknowingly came out of Mineah's mouth the moment Nikolai moved back. At the same time, their carriage stopped.
"We'll rest here for the night," he informed her as he moved to open the door.
Seeing as there was nothing else she could do, she followed and accepted the hand he had extended to help her step down from the carriage. Looking up at the sky, the sun seemed to be setting. It was going to get dark soon.
As soon as they were out of the carriage, a man who seemed to be in his early thirties approached them.
"Everything is already arranged, Sire," he said as he gave a slight bow to Nikolai.
Mineah creased her forehead as she stared at the pale man with blonde hair. She didn't see him in the castle earlier. Perhaps he was someone new?
While she was still busy studying him when their eyes met, Mineah heard foreign thoughts in her head.
