Chương 71: A walk in the garden - Part 1

"Is it okay for us to leave the ball for so long?" I asked Luke, walking down the stairs along with him. Luke had asked me to take a little walk to the garden, saying there was something he wanted to show to me. 

"It is fine," he answered, "Didn't you see Kiel himself running to the balcony? Kiera is the only one who is excited about the ball, so don't fret about it. We don't even need to come back there."

I nodded to his answer, feeling a little relieved that we didn't need to come back there. I was uncomfortable receiving their stares, moreover when their eyes lingered way too long for my liking. And not to mention that it was not a welcoming eye, but more like scrutinizing me from head to toe.
