Chapter 41

XANDER’S POV

A scene unfolded in front of me as 1 watched Sabrina cleaning one of the many ballrooms with another servant who had been assigned to the same place as her.

The girl turned around to get a rag, knocking over a bucket of water in the process. She slipped and fell. Sabrina paused her humming and turned.

“Are you okay?!” She rushed to the side of the servant girl. The girl staggered to her feet and nodded.

“I–I’m good, just a scratch.” The girl said uneasily, rubbing her hip bone.

It wasn’t a scratch. From the sound of it, she had sprained something. Sabrina stayed by her side and helped her get to her

feet.

“You should go to the healer. That didn’t sound like a scratch.”

Her eyes were wide and full of worry, Worry which would have been superficial had I not seen that it wasn’t.

The servant girl nodded. She looked uncomfortable and tried to move away from Sabrina’s hold. Sabrina didn’t let her, holding on tightly.

Tll take you there.”

“But my work…

“I’ll do it for you. Don’t worry your head about it.”

That was strange.

I watched the whole encounter from the shadows, the way Sabrina rushed to help that girl.

She wasn’t as horrible as her mate.

The thought planted a seed in my heart. Was she really how I had judged her to be? Vile and evil and repulsive? Just like that

useless Crue of a man?

This girl before me wasn’t anything like that. As much as I’ve tried to see her prove me right, she never did that.

Did I misjudge her? Is she actually a good person?

If that’s the case, then all this while I’ve punished her would be….

I pushed those thoughts out of my mind.

Anybody can help a maid in need. Anyone can put on a look of concern and worry. It’s so easy to wear a mask, I know that very well
