Eavesdropping

Dusk fell on the land of Aranill and Aylin curled up on the couch as she watched the stars appearing in the sky. They were twinkling brightly, spreading joy and love everywhere. But in Aylin's life, there was neither joy nor love. 

The joy in her life had died with her family and her love.... Aylin sniffled when she remembered the crestfallen expression on Azimir's face when she had forced him out of her manor. Her life had lost all its meaning and she felt lonely and aggrieved. But she could not seek anyone's company either. If the masked man was watching her every move, then she would only be putting their lives in danger.

Oddly, she had a feeling that the man had no intention of hurting her. His words only held a warning for her to stay away from everyone. He never threatened her with her life. So, Aylin had taken this bold step to capture the man herself, without involving anyone else in her plan.
