BAILA'S POV
“You know Nolan?” Salem questioned as he escorted Baila back to the castle. “How do you know him?”
Baila froze, her shoulders tensing up but she kept her composure. She could not give anything aware. She did
not know Salem well enough to know how he would react if he found at the truth about her. But at the same time, he had saved her life and Nolan knew she owed him.
“Sara, the royal physician is my friend. I’m a dancer from a village near by. I’m out of money and Sara offered to help,” she lied, her cheeks flusing a bright pink colour at the cold air and how easily she lied.
“Sara. I’ve met many of her dancer friends over the years but never you,” Salem hummed, pushing his hands into his pockets. The ruby red colour of his eyes had dissappeared after a minute of walking and now, what was left were two endless pools of black.
