Bab 85: Opinions on marriage - Part 2

"Commander Aylin, what is your opinion about marriage?" 

Silence filled the hall again and this time, it was more deafening than how it had been the previous time. All pairs of eyes were fixed on her and Aylin gave them a blank look, not knowing why Azimir was asking her this question out of the blue.

'Does he want to marry me?' She wondered and shook the thought out of her mind the next instant. 'It cannot be. We have only known for a few days and the feelings we have for each other is yet to turn to love. He could not be thinking of marriage this quickly. What is his motive in asking me such a question in front of an audience?'

Aylin scowled, not liking the inquisitive gazes on her and she threw a cold look at Azimir, who only tilted his head innocently while his teasing smile and amusement-filled eyes said otherwise. She had the sudden urge to kill him for putting her in a spot and diverting everyone's attention on her.
