Eve could feel the tension rising from a distance and she gasped when Damien punched Harold. She was not sure how much Harold was injured, but she could see blood coming out instantly. Yet Harold did not scowl or cry. He had that strange sinister smirk on his face. The smirk he had on his face when she found out about him and Elene.
She stood up to join him but a servant, who had brought the gold coins earlier, blocked her way. He bowed his head, his eyes settling on the ground and he shook his head.
"Your grace had commanded us to not let you leave this box, your grace." But why? It could not be for hiding their identities since Cotlin and Damien had already announced that he was only representing Cotlin.
"Your grace had left a message, "I will return soon, so wait patiently." it was a simple message yet Eve felt her cheeks burning after listening to it.
"Fine, I will wait here this time."
