Bab 44: A good choice

(AZTEC'S POV)

Now Rhea looked hesistant. I knew it was because of my reaction. But I also knew that it would not stop her from speaking, she was only hesitating.

I was amazed at how bold she was and it took me back to our first meeting. I was reminded that her boldness was the first trait that I had noticed about her.

"Well, don't stop now." I said to her seeing as she was still hesitating.

She cleared her throat and straightened her posture in a bold manner.

"I would like for my family to be released." She said and I was surprised.

First of all, I did not expect that to be the condition that she was about to state and Secondly, I was surprised that was what she was talking about.

Maybe Steele was right after all. Maybe I had misjudged the whole situation.
