Bab 36: The Ball Dance.

'I'm lost in your eyes figuring out the mystery of you' — Amzy_Bella

Perdita closely walked beside Sthena afraid something might come out and attack her again. Sometimes she will peek at the quiet man beside her. He confused and overwhelmed her at times.

She had not imagined he will easily believe her. As crooked and twisted as he behaved, he still had some qualities that made him tolerable. Like when he helped her to silence Perkin and also helped her release Mr. Perkin's wife from the warden's custody. Even though it was Daemon who did the job, she knew that if not because of Sthena, he wouldn't have helped her. She can still recall Daemon saying she should thank Sthena and not him.

Also, there was something else she noticed, it was as if Daemon took orders and approval from Sthena. She had brushed it off saying that maybe Sthena was higher in rank than Daemon. But then, there was something amiss in their relationship she had noted.
