Seraphina POV
It was Lena. And she didn't look happy to discover me snooping around. She was quick to drag me out of the room and away from it.
Even though every fiber of my being wanted to return and figure out more, she only let go of my hands when we were safely in my room.
"How reckless can you be to wander into the king's private study?"
"I saw pictures of me, from when I was a child till I grew."
Lena's eyes widened. "That's impossible, the king didn't know of your existence until now."
"I'm beginning to think it's a lie, he knew me, and somehow my being here has never felt more unsafe."
Lena was quiet for a while, and she paced about the room. Before finally stopping.
"Was it just pictures that you saw?"
"Yes of me and granny."
"Then he must have just been checking on his mother, he probably missed her."
"Then why act like he knew nothing of my existence?"
Lena huffed another breath. Her stoic expression was now masked in worry and fear.
