Something was wrong. Years of experience told him that the girl he was facing wasn't the same healer and outcast that Cyrus had married.
Her eyes… They were full of confidence and defiance. They looked into his eyes…no… bore into his eyes as if trying to look directly into his soul and unbury the deepest secrets that he kept hidden from the entire world.
Dominic looked around to see if anyone was equally shocked as he was.
They definitely looked surprised that she called herself his queen, but they appeared more proud than fearful.
How was this possible? Did they not suspect her?
Or did they know something that he didn't?
He turned to his people to see if they had some similar expression, but when he didn't see them looking at her differently either, he realised it was him… just him, who could see that little change in her eyes.
But why?
"You–" Dominic started, but Amelia just softened her expression.
