As Prince Thane entered the tent, Miranda's eyes widened in surprise, her heart racing with anticipation. She had been hoping to see Prince Kael, not his brother. She took a step back, her eyes fixed on Prince Thane as he approached her.
Prince Thane's expression was neutral, but a hint of a smile played on his lips, making Miranda feel uncertain. "Finally, you're awake?" he said, his arms spread wide in a gesture of welcome.
Miranda's eyes narrowed slightly as she took in Prince Thane's demeanor. She halted her backward step, her hands clasped together in front of her. "May I ask, why are you here, Your Highness? Do you need anything from me?" she asked, her voice measured.
Prince Thane chuckled, the sound low and smooth. "What would I need from you, Miranda? I simply saved you after you fainted in my presence," he said, his eyes glinting with amusement.
