Aria's POV
Once I was in the clear of being caught, I started to run. The man who attacked me was powerful, I could tell.
He was also an important member of this kingdom, although I couldn't help but wonder why he was conspiring with others and keeping it away from the king.
I looked back when it felt like footsteps were following me and sighed when I didn't see any.
I looked forward again just to crash into a solid wall, my hands quickly shot up to brace myself.
It hit a warm chest, my eyes shot up immediately and I looked till I got to the face, a gasp escaped me when I saw the king staring down at me with alarm.
I looked at our position and saw how intimate it looked, I struggled to free myself but the hand on my waist was preventing me from doing that.
I bowed as awkwardly as I could, "My king,"
A satisfied growl left his lips and it made me shudder. I felt his hand on my waist become tighter.
"What is going on?" He asked.
I nodded, "Your highness, please let me go,"
