"Do you know what to do with this?" Elara had never seen this man before in the palace. Yet the man looked so at ease with his surroundings as if he had lived here for ages that reminds her how dangerous Cedric was.
For once, Elara was scared of Cedric. So far, she had seen him as a greedy uncle who wanted the wealth of his nephew. She had seen so many like him so far. That she always found them so predictable, so boring. But now that she knew, he had a hidden man in the palace and he did not want wealth but more from Killian, she was scared. Why did he want to get rid of Killian's aunt? Was it only because she was greedy or… Elara gulped.
The man seemed to read her anxiety as he smiled.
"Cedric is a man of words. He would keep his side of the deal." Elara closed her eyes. Killian needed a tutor. But he would be disheartened if he knew she had helped in getting rid of his aunt.
