Ridha wasn't aware that she was being judged. She was just speaking her mind, not knowing that a single lie could cost her life.
"Hm, no. I didn't give her a chance to."
So, she was a bit surprised when she saw Alex lowering his bow right after she gave him the answer. It was as if he was more worried about something Sonam knew than the fact that there was a strong person capable of harming him standing right in front of her.
What she didn't know was that Alex, with his Thunderveil step, could kill her even before she could tell what had happened. He was way too strong compared to what other people knew.
"Why are you here?"
Alex's questions, however, didn't end there as he went on, finally inquiring about Ridha's objective, causing a weird silence to envelope the area.
Ridha knew that this question would come, but she wasn't expecting it so soon. She had yet to prepare a perfect answer to that question.
