Chapter 92

The palace was sort of empty, so it was easier for Toreh to slip inside quietly. Unaware that she was being watched, she walked stealthily past the pillars, heading for the dining room.

"Is she the one?" Kayne whispered as he shoved his hands into his pockets.

Eloive looked up, eyes widening as he recognized the bracelet, he had given her. What was Toreh doing here?

"Yes. She's going to get herself killed, uncle. If anyone sees her, they'd put a knife to her throat."

"She kind of deserves it," Kayne said, eyes fixed on the human girl.

Eloive looked at his uncle, flabbergasted. "What? You know she does. First, she broke your heart..."

Eloive butted in. "She didn't break my heart..." he started to say but shut up when Kayne glared at him.

"Then, she comes into our home without permission on the day of the hunt."

"That's just how she is! That's her personality, uncle."

"Then she should be able to deal with the repercussions."
