374 From a poor village beggar to the palace

Susan felt very uneasy with Damian right there, staring down at her. It was already evening, and it was just the two of them currently in the area. Her imagination ran wild as she remembered the mark on Tyra's neck and how she had been snooping around lately.

When he took a step forward, she unconsciously swam backwards and kept her gaze fixed on him.

"Greetings, Lady Susan." Damian greeted in a gentle tone before looking around. "Why are you here alone by this time of the evening?" He asked her, sounding concerned. 

Seeing that he was finally speaking, she was able to relax a bit. Only a bit. Her guard was still up.

"Williams is on his way here. I fell into the lake by accident, and he has gone to get me something warm for my body." She said, making sure he got the message that Williams was going to show up soon in case he wanted to try something funny.
