Bab 216: Attractive Bait

Salena’s mouth dropped opened as she instinctively took a few steps backwards. A pair of piercing grey eyes stared at her and she found herself staring back.

“Prince Darius…” she whispered without fully recovering from her shock.

Her legs started shaking under her at his unexpected appearance. Although she was expecting to meet him, she had no idea that he was already in the library and wondered just how long he had been there.

“Do you like books that much?” he asked as he reached out to pull a random book from one of the shelves.

Salena was still shocked to see Darius. His sudden appearance did not leave room for her to mentally prepare for their meeting. All her previous excitement of seeing books evaporated and she was just scared and anxious in front of the prince.
