Shiver ran down Nala's spine when the merchant showed such strong hostility toward her. This was the first time, he glared at her very viciously, as if he was going to strangle her to death.
Nala feared for her life when she was in the hand of the king, but this was different kind of fear when the easy going Lou looked so menacing like this. She didn't dare to raise her head, neither she had the courage to breathe a little bit louder. She wanted to disappear and make him stop staring at her, it was very suffocating.
While Lou said nothing, the silence was heavy.
"Lou, I am sorry…" Nala said in small voice. She was so scared out of her wits right now. All the possibility came to her mind and she couldn't help, but thinking the worst and the worst thing possible that could happen was; this merchant killed her, because that's how it looked like.
