Chapter 28

My eyes darted from her to the door then back to her and I slightly tipped my head to the side before I got up from the chair.

I walked to the door and thankfully, the female servant at the door was not rude or mean. I told her what I needed - water for a bath, food and a dress - and she headed off to go get them for me.

I shut the door and my forehead creased when I turned around to find Crista playing with a dagger that had a golden handle. "Where did you get that?"

She glanced at me for a brief moment as she started twirling the weapon. "From under the table."

"Put it back." I moved back to where I was sitting while she sneered at me and returned the dagger back to where she took it from.

"Continue your story," she said as I sat down and I poured water from the jug on the table into cups for the both of us.
