"What's wrong with the king?" She stammered, tears clouding her eyes instantly as the image of him falling replayed in her head.
"Answer me, girl! What did you do to his majesty!" Lord Carter barked angrily, gripping tightly around Adina's arm.
"I didn't—" she croaked, her throat dry, heart pounding against her ribs like it wanted out.
