As they reach the palace, Lexzandra turns to face Emrys, a sly smile playing on her lips. She leans forward, catching Emrys off guard. "Have you told everything to Nikolai?"
Emrys tenses, his mind racing. How did she know? Lexzandra's smile widens as if she can read his thoughts. "You must be wondering how I know, right?" she teases.
Emrys gulps and nods, unsure of where this conversation is heading. Lexzandra remains playful. "I saw you going to the prince's palace. It's very obvious that since Nikolai sent you to be my personal knight, you would follow his orders. By that I mean, notify him of all my movements."
Emrys watches her, his silence filled with uncertainty. Lexzandra's expression shifts slightly, her amusement mingling with a hint of challenge.
She crosses her arms before her chest, her eyes, sharp and penetrating, seem to search for answers within him.
