Nieah was just a few steps away when Circe stopped suddenly, eyes trained on the courtyard, on the prince. Confused, she stopped moving as well.
Apparently, her pausing was all Casilo needed to sidle up next to her.
"What is happening?" Nieah asked, making sure to keep her voice down. She had willingly gone along with Circe without bothering to ask any questions, and she was now realizing that she had let the princess pull her into a situation she knew nothing about.
"Her Highness was heading towards the armory this morning when I saw her. She knows that only the guards and a selected few are allowed inside," Casilo explained. "I told her that if she wanted something from the armory, she would have to ask for the prince's permission first."
Even without being told, Nieah knew that Circe must have gotten annoyed at being told that. In any other circumstance, the lady of the house should have had free rein over the manor and been able to go wherever she pleased.
