章 66: A pair of earrings

Naimishi clamped her hands over her mouth, determined to keep any noise from escaping and disrupting their private moment. Her heart raced as she strained to catch the conversation happening in the bathroom. Once the conversations died down, moving as light as air, she hurriedly left Hiraan's room and slipped back into her own.

Shutting the door softly, she pressed her back against it, inhaling deeply to regain her composure. "What was that I just heard?" she murmured, her voice barely audible. Alora and Hiraan, their voices intertwined, echoing from the bathroom. Betaal, upon learning of Sabrina's ordeal, swiftly departed, citing hunger as his reason, though not without Naimishi's reminder to expedite his location through his spies.

After a while, she considered checking on Bluebell's condition by heading to her room. But as she emerged from her own room, the resonant voice of Alora from the neighbouring chamber reached her ears, halting her in her tracks.
