Chapter 206: AN ILLUSION

Zaya bit her tongue the moment the words left her lips and she feigned innocent under her brother's sharp gaze.

"What did you say?" Zander narrowed his eyes dangerously, even though you barely saw his blue eyes behind his golden mask.

"No!" Zaya blushed. "I didn't mean it in that way, don't make a wrong idea."

"Explain to me what wrong idea that I should have about this whole thing?" Zander raised his brows at his sister. "Do you like him?"

"Of course not." Zaya shook her head vigorously. "But, we need him, right? We need his knights."

Zander didn't let her off easily. He took a step closer, while Zaya instinctively took a step back, which only made Zander became even more suspicious. "I know that you have been sneaking out and he came with you…" he talked cautiously. "Did something happen during that time?"

Yes, they shared a kiss.

"No. Of course not."

"Zaya."
