*Ciana*
My breath came out in low and shallow pants as I heard the protests from Nita and the roars from the king.
However, I couldn’t see anything from here until I saw Theo and Nita being escorted out of the room. When Theo walked past the closet, I thought I saw him shift his eyeballs very subtly.
Yet I understood what he wanted from me.
Stay safe.
I had hoped for this plan to go smoothly but I should have known someone like Sebastian wouldn’t be easy to trick.
It wasn’t like I didn’t consider bursting out of this closet and playing the hero, but that would’ve been flat-out stupid.
Theo had placed me here for a reason and I agreed with him on that. At this point, I was their only hope, and getting myself locked up with them really wouldn’t do us any good.
When I was sure everyone had left the king’s suite, I counted to 100 before slowly opening the closet door and peeking down the hallway.
Empty.
Perfect.
