Present Time,
RENA'S POV
As a bottom feeder, everything I do and every step I take is scrutinized by those ahead of me.
After the last time I saw Falkur, I had to wait for two more days before I could see him again.
He came with the redefining contract that states the position I now occupy.
We were in one of the offices in the castle.
I sat across him as I glanced through the terms and conditions and my countless do's and don'ts. I know he is a fair man and would never be impartial with me but I pretended to be reading to understand because I wanted him to say something to me.
When I was done, I signed the documents and he retrieved them from me.
As he arranged them to take away, I realized he was not going to speak to me.
When he was about to stand up, I twirled the pen I used to sign in between my fingers.
“Are you also going to treat me like the others?” I asked.
He straightened to his feet.
"I have no understanding of what you speak of Miss Rusov”
