The end of him
"I didn't know that I could fight," Iris murmured more to herself but Cassian heard it.
He looked at her as she got lost in her thoughts. She looked so confused and lost. He had heard about his mate losing her memory due to an injury that occurred during horse riding. He had many doubts about that reason. Why was she allowed to ride a horse when she was still recuperating? The duke and duchess of Kenworthy were very protective of their daughter due to her poor health. And it was only recently discovered that the cause of her decline in health was poisoning. The poisoning was ordered by the empress and ministered by Iris's own nanny. So why did her parents allow her to ride a horse? And regarding today's incident, his mate seemed like someone who knew how to fight. She looked veteran in using a dagger.
