Being Spotted By Coincidence

"You're awake."

Iria Alewine just opened her eyes after a deep sleep and the first thing she heard was the Crown Prince's usual calm voice. She darted her eyes to the right and saw him sitting on a chair beside her bed.

"How long did I sleep?" she asked him as she pushed herself up and sat on the bed.

"Almost everyone left the camp now," Arin replied. "The doctor gave you a strong painkiller last night. It's the effect of the medicine."

When Iria didn't say anything, Arin Helev spoke up again. "Do you have any clue about the assassins from yesterday?"

His question reminded her of how she was spotted with a bow and arrow last night. It wasn't just the Crown Prince but General Hanson and some of the guards including Antony were with him too.

"I'm not sure but I don't think it's the Queen's doing. Those assassins are quite skilled and I also heard them say that they will be dead if they fail."
