Unbeknownst to them, Ava and Matthew were also plotting to destroy whatever it is that they planned. On Matthew's insistence, Ava used her magick and stood outside of the King's room to 'spy' on them.
"Can you please remind me why we are here? Again?" Ava asked, a little irritated. Matthew said that if she won't help him, he would do it alone. How could she allow him to risk himself just for this? She gritted her teeth in irritation.
She thought that Matthew was doing this just to test her magick. And maybe she was right.
"Ulva would use this door. We are going to follow her."
"Not the King?'
"No."
"Why her?"
"Follow the dog, Ava," Matthew whispered, his hot breath brushing against her cheek.
"You are too close."
"I am doing it to avoid being discovered."
"No one can hear us," Ava said.
"We don't really know that. Do we?"
