Chapter 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.
Her eyes took in the sight of the prince opening the thick book in his hand before his other hand flipped through a few pages. How his hand moved felt very captivating and elegant to her and she forgot all about replying to his question.
“This really is the perfect place to meet. No one comes here...” the prince commented after a moment of silence.
“I guess...” Salena agreed in a faint murmur.
“This library is pretty much deserted. No one comes here and no one properly takes care of this place either...” he said before flashing her a slightly regretful smile.
