My steps faltered, and I flung myself to the wall, peering over it to watch Soren. It really was him! I couldn't believe my eyes. He must have shifted recently or... I stopped my thoughts and leaned over the corner of the wall more to see him.
Every time I'd asked Theo about Soren, he'd stated my knight had been called away. He never said anything more about it, leaving me to wonder about my only guard. Alaric would never call him away without having him replaced, even if it was for ten minutes.
Once Soren took a left, another corridor that leads closer to Deyanira's quarters, my legs started to move before my brain could properly function. Damn, my curiosity. No, it wasn't just curiosity, I realised.
My gut was twisting, and paranoia was clutching at my chest and mind. I had to stop my thoughts from spiralling. However, one question was too loud and did remain.
Was he going to the Queen Mother?
