When Rihaan exited the forest, he realized the hunt had ended long ago. It was a rather peculiar sight—the nobles were gathered in a circle, discussing things he could care less about, while the royal family members sat in their respective chairs.
There was no 'celebration' for sure. Not when each of them wore a scowl on their face.
Dismounting his horse, he jumped to the ground, curiosity piqued. Just when he thought he had landed perfectly, his boots slipped for a fraction of a second, causing him to lose his balance. His surroundings tilted rapidly, and he shut his eyes tight, fists clenched.
He couldn't afford to embarrass himself in front of Revhara's high society!
Just then, a strong pair of arms wrapped around his waist. His eyelashes twitched before he opened his eyes slowly. His vision remained blurry for a brief moment. Blinking rapidly, his sight sharpened—Soren's face stood before him.
Close.
Too close.
