Chapter 56
Alira's heart skipped a bit as she panicked. She turned to Rael, her eyes wide. "My mom." She knew well what disaster could happen if her mom found out about her relationship with a non noble. Rael of all people would be the one to suffer it, he could be secretly assassinated too, the queen was that cruel.
She quickly turned back to the door, "Tell her I'm taking a bath and I'll be out soon." Then she faced Rael again, "where are your shoes?"
He pointed to the floor beside the door. Alira nodded, "Good, now for how long can you remain under water? Or...." She looked around, trying to find a place he could hide, and her eyes lit up when she found one,"can you hide there? Please." Her voice was desperate but soft.
While she was panicking, Rael's gaze was fixed on her, admiring her wet features. Her hair sticking to her face, her plump red lips, her golden eyes and fluttering eye lashes. God she was a goddess.
