Kara stood transfixed, and unable to move, in fact she dared not to.
With every Ethan's gaze that fell on her, it felt like her skin was being ripped off.
"I didn't know you guys were this close..."
Ethan sounded flatly, of course Kara could still hear the sarcasm in the voice.
"It's not what you think, Ethan."
She managed to say. She bit her lips hard, something she did whenever she was nervous.
Something in her told her that Ethan had caught them in a particular act, she couldn't place the act, but she knew her instincts were always right.
She knew Ethan well enough and how he could mask his words in sarcasm, but now, she feared for her life.
She feared she might be sent out of the palace, and that would be the last thing she would want.
Staying in the palace had always given her an edge and helped her in keeping track with the royal family and working closer to her dream.
