PREDICAMENT (2)

"I don't understand." Lana smiled derisively. "You said, you will walk me back to the other tower, but I don't understand what was the need of the silver dagger in your hand?"

"Stop pretending that you don't know anything." Kyle played with the dagger in his hand, he knew there was no one near to save Lana, this part of the king's tower was exceptionally quiet, because Jedrek preferred not to have much guards roaming around in his place.

"Apart from the fact that you are trying to kill me now, I know nothing." Lana kept her voice calm while occasionally she would glance at the dagger in Kyle's hand. "Oh, maybe you want to ask, whether I know or not about your attempt to kill Theo?"

The smile on Kyle's lips slightly faltered as his eyes turned dark with anger with the way Lana spoke. She was mocking him.
