'He wouldn't' Rye thought.
Yet the way he held the dagger and the quiet and steady way he waited for Emily to stand in front of Rye scared her enough not to take the chance.
"I-I'm not—" about to insist that what she said wasn't a lie, but the sudden and sharp look Argo sent her way terrified her.
Just like he knew the truth and was simply waiting for her to say.
Still Rye wanted to insist, even if he thought she was lying there was no way for him to be sure.
But that was until Emily's terrified eyes met eyes making her realize that she couldn't afford to toy with Emily's life.
The world she suddenly found herself in was completely different from the modern world she came from.
Argo could kill whosoever he wanted whenever he wanted and even the king wouldn't question him too much about it.
