Chapter 75: Meeting

Aileene didn't know how she was supposed to react, she knew so clearly that Lucian was here. But she didn't know what to do, her mind went blank and she froze. She wasn't sure if she was afraid, afraid to confront him, afraid to lie to him or if she was truly happy to finally see him again, the one she was longing for all this time. Once again she couldn't discern her feelings, time seemed to freeze for her. Until the abrupt voice of her knight brought her back to reality.

"Miss, there's an intruder?" Knights came into her room armed and on guard. Her hands shook and she quickly hid it behind her back, she nervously glancedd to the curtains and back to her knights. They didn't notice her subtle gaze and she was glad that they couldn't see Lucian. She didn't want her own knights to attack Lucian and mistake him for an intruder. She took a deep breath and calmed herself, she couldn't show them her anxiety. She'll hide Lucian for the time being.
