“You misheard that.” Elspeth tried to gloss it over.

“If you don’t wanna tell me, fine. I will stop here.” Edmund was unusually agreeable today, which she found relief.

“Do you think that we’re gonna die here?”

His assumption irritated her. “Why would that happen when I’m here?”

“So, you mean that you’re gonna protect me?” A triumphant smile appeared across his lips.

While they were in a middle of a small dispute, someone kept watching them in silence. Elspeth, who sensed the scorching gaze, turned her head to see Isabel.
