Azriel followed the doors Penelope had gone through and he traced her. When he found her he walked slowly behind her.
She went to the Princess's quarters, and he waited by the gates for her to come out.
Pen carried a small bottle wrapped in a cloth and walked briskly. She did not notice the man standing in the darkness as she passed by the gates.
"Penelope," Azriel called, and Pen stopped in her tracks and she turned around in surprise.
When she saw the general from earlier that day, she was shocked and quickly bowed.
What was he doing here? She thought but was more surprised by the fact that he remembered her name.
"My lord…" she answered, before raising her head.
"Where are you going to?" Azriel asked, his eyes gazing straight at her. Penelope blinked, her mind thought of a hundred things but she did not want to believe that it was what it was.
"Princess Lyra asked me to bring something to her." She replied.
