“The girl has been found.”
I stared at that line. Then I read it again, just to make sure. My fingers clenched around the paper. Three years. Kael had known about me that long.
I wasn’t sure what scared me more—knowing someone had been looking for me, or realizing Kael had always known exactly where I was.
I folded the note and marched straight to the royal quarters. Didn’t even bother knocking. I shoved the door open.
Kael looked up, caught off guard. His face shifted the instant he saw me. “You shouldn’t be here.”
I slapped the document onto his desk. “Then maybe you shouldn’t have been watching me.”
He looked down at the paper. Didn’t say a word. I crossed my arms. “Three years.”
Nothing from him.
“You knew about me three years ago.” My voice shook.
“Yes.” He barely blinked.
