Tense Meetings

"What?!" Athena couldn't hide the panic on her face. 

It took her a quick second to realize he was messing with her. The Black Knight burst out laughing. Athena was just about to turn and look in the direction of the king. 

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," He said quickly, "He's looking here right now." 

Athena gulped. Now she didn't dare to move an inch. If she had turned, her father was bound to recognize her in an instant! She was sure of it. Even with her helmet on, the moment he heard her voice, she was done for. 

But another possibility formed in her mind. 

"Are you bluffing?" She asked the Black Knight as she narrowed her eyes at him. 

He chuckled in response, "Would you like to take that risk?"

"Absolutely not," She replied in a heartbeat. 

"Then listen to my lead and you'll remain anonymous." 

Athena sighed as she crossed her arms, "Anonymous to everyone but you it seems."
