Her thoughts were divided. She found it difficult to come up with a decision that sounded good to her ears.
She thought of the artifact, and then, Liam. She either returns home without the artifact, or remains at the palace as a maid, without making an attempt to steal from Liam.
The torments in her home would worsen if she didn't lay her hands on the golden artifact which they needed direly. On the other hand, her heart would be shattered to a thousand pieces is she stole from the palace, even after discovering that the man she loved was the prince.
She was arranging the clothes on the cloth line when she caught sight of Liam approaching her. She quickly rounded it up and started walking out of the premises, with Liam walking behind her.
Her heart was in great fear, because it was broad daylight and anyone could see them together.
At this, she stopped and swirled to face him.
