Chapter 4: Monitor Her
They finally arrived at Ebodia’s encampment. Until now, Tarah remained on her toes. She could feel Prince Ezekiel’s predatory eyes locked onto her figure, watching her intently as if waiting for her to make a mistake at any moment. As much as she felt bothered by it, all she could do was try her best to act like she wasn’t.
She would also sneak glances at him, but she would quickly look away whenever he turned to her direction.
"Tarah?!"
The moment Princess Xenia, Ezekiel’s sister, noticed her presence, Tarah’s eyes lit up. She squirmed as Xenia’s tight and warm hug embraced her.
"You just left without even saying a word," Xenia whined as she broke the hug, a smile still on her face as she faced her.
"I had to, Princess," Tarah replied with a pleased and knowing smile. "I knew we’d meet again soon anyway."
"Oh, right! You’re a seer," Xenia unknowingly blurted out loudly.
"You knew she’s a Seer?" Prince Ezekiel interrupted.
Xenia nodded in confirmation.
