My emotions were conflicted and I just stared at Selene. The kings interest was not a good one. I had a feeling, he had been keeping a close eye on me for a long time because he had not forgiven what happened that day.
The fading sunlight cast long shadows across the memorial garden, and for a moment everything felt strange.
"In me?" I finally asked, trying to sound surprised. Selene nodded.
"I know it sounds strange."
"That's impossible. Me? Why would he be interested in a lowly girl like me?" a small smile formed on Selene's lips.
"Most things involving powerful people usually do."
I frowned. What did she mean by that?
"Why?"
Selene looked away in the direction of the flowers. She didn't speak for a long time. It was more like she was avoiding the question.
"I don't know." she finally answered and even though her response sounded genuine, it annoyed me.
"You don't know?"
"No." she sighed. "I only know he has been asking questions about you for a long time."
