Is he a sadist?

Her body froze for a split second as she hurriedly looked around, trying to spot him. Yet, she failed. It was then, she realized.

'He's talking in my head?'

Stunned, she realized it was futile to search for him and waited for further clarification.

"Come over to the castle."

She heard again. This time, clearer and louder.

"Fine!"

Gritting her teeth, she jogged towards the castle, unknowingly erupting into a full sprint on her way. She passed by several warriors who gave her confused looks but didn't pay attention to them. Finally, she reached the castle and climbed up to the top floor.
