63 Blow My Cover

Aiden walked into the room without any noise.

The quietness in the room was vicious as Aiden stood behind Princess Cassandra who was unaware of his movements.

"Will this really work?"

"I just hope Ed does not report this to Duke Salvador."

"I do not want to be in any more trouble."

Cassandra was murmuring as she wrote on the pages. Although the ink was getting spread, Aiden could not see anything. The words written were invisible. 

'I just want to protect you and yet you want to hide from me? Why?' Aiden thought as he extended his hand towards Cassandra who was looking down.

Only her neck was visible, shadowed by the hairs. Aiden wanted to remove the platinum blonde hairs to look at her painful eyes. 

'Maybe I can see her pinkish-red lips.' Aiden thought but soon his hands that were about to touch Cassandra's hair stopped.

'No, I cannot blow my cover.'

'I have to know more.'
