Chapter 14 : What the Hell do You Want?

For a moment, I just stared at Soren.

This time, I wasn’t captivated by his gaze. I stared at him because I didn’t understand why he was asking that. I had gotten the feeling when I left his inn that he was in some way relieved to see me go.

He had said I was welcome to stay and even come back if I needed to. But still, there hadn’t been any great effort put into convincing me to change my mind.

Now he was asking who I was. It seemed strange since I wasn’t sure what more he expected to learn from me.

“Didn’t you already investigate me?” I asked, putting my hands on my hips.

I hadn’t let him know that I’d been eavesdropping before. It was something I was holding onto for a time when I thought it would be beneficial.

This seemed like the right time. I wanted Soren to be shocked that I knew he’d been digging into my past.

For a moment Soren’s jaw tensed and he narrowed his eyes minutely. He recovered quickly and gave a lazy smile.
