Nix used his hands to straighten her hair, touching her smooth face in the process. "Don't worry, I'll be fine, okay? Chantal will be here to guard the palace." He assured Kitanna.

Nix stopped in his steps, turning, he asked her. "Is there a problem Kitanna?"
"Nix, the killer, reeked of something rotten. I don't know if it was the skin or something the person was wearing." Kitanna remarked.
