Chapter 51: Closing Eyes and Open Heart

"How did your day go?" King Leandro asked her with his usual deep voice. 

He was not moving from where he was, nor glancing at her while she was at his side. 

Her face went pallid white as her hands went clammy. 

"Where would I start?" Aisha thought while blinking rapidly, thinking about what transpired the whole day. 

"Will I tell him how I was able to escape the Castle the second time? And how did I meet Lord Lycano again in the Market Town?"

A sudden gust of wind seemed to send shivers down Aisha's spine. "No way! That would not do!"

Aisha decided to skip some parts of the story, so she would not add to the King's stressful day, especially now that he was already winding down. 

"I was curious to know more about Spelta, so I searched around. And I found out about Riso," Aisha told him in the most nonchalant way possible.

To emphasize that she just had a normal day, she went to the waters and played with it with her hand.
