~Belinda's POV
I watched from the corridor, half-hidden behind one of the stone pillars. My arms were crossed tightly over my chest, my nails digging into my skin as I saw them, Kael, Ramon, and Damon, walking with her. Lisa.
My jaw clenched.
What was she doing with them?
And more importantly… why were they taking her there? Of all places, the flower garden? The one sacred spot on the palace grounds, the one place even I had never been allowed to set foot in. I had asked Kael once, years ago, and he had told me flatly: "No one goes there."
But now she's going there?
With them?
My breath caught in my throat as I saw her hesitate by the door. I could read the confusion on her face even from a distance. Like she didn't understand why they were being kind to her. And then they went inside, and the door closed behind them.
