Chapter 7 VI

• Harra was bathing herself in the extravagant bathroom with the expensive bath made for her for some time now. Cold and nervous, all the wild thoughts occupying her mind. Is there a way to escape now? Maybe there is someone out there who can help her . Maybe she can try something else, but all of her hopes shattered when she remembered his words. The last thing she wanted was to anger him any further. She closed her eyes tightly, trembled as she wrapped herself with a towel, and finally decided to open the bathroom door. It was dark but the moon was shining its light on him.
• She caught Neien leaning next to the window watching the city lights while sipping wine from the goblet, his eyes set on the void darkness. The man seemed to sense her and turned his attention to her, she immediately looked down as their eyes met. She heard his footsteps approaching her. She silently prayed for a miracle, biting her lip. He lifted her face and gently pressed her lower lip as he freed it from her bite.
• "Are you scared?" Neien asked. She nodded, there's nothing wrong with telling him how nervous she is. She's already in this situation, might as well be truthful. Neien stroked her wet hair. He brought his lips close to hers, he did not press them but instead their lips grazed each other. He stared at her teary eyes for a moment.
