103: What to do next - part 1

"Aurora, what are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to take a rest? And how did you get past the guards? Did you give them the slip? I ought to scold them for their negligence."

Aurora almost jumped in the air when she heard Clove's voice coming from behind her. How in the world had Clove known where Aurora was?

"I just wanted to take a bath and left my room. There is no need to involve the guards in this matter."

Aurora tried to divert the attention from the main topic. She did feel sorry for the guards who would have to take the brunt of Clove's anger but she was doing it for a good cause.

And, it was not like this all was going to matter once the trial was over. None of this was real and would not matter anymore.

"Aurora, please be careful of your health. You might not see this, but many people in the tower are envious of you. This is a good opportunity for them to try and get rid of you."
