Kaldric POV.
"But do you have a secret?"
Alvira's question caught me by surprise, and the way she was looking at me with those big eyes kept saying I could trust her with all my secrets.
I played with her hair as I asked, "If I were to tell you of my secrets, who would you tell?"
"No one." She replied without hesitation. "Your secrets will become mine."
"Then should we trade? Tell me something no one knows about you, princess." I asked, using this as an opportunity to get to know her hidden truths.
Alvira pouted her lips adorably, and it took a lot of self-control not to lean in and suck on those lips.
"You promise not to judge me?" She asked with a smile.
"I promise. You can tell me anything, Alvira, without being afraid of judgement."
"I…I once helped a friend to frame her mother for murder."
I blinked, and when I saw she was being serious, a laugh slipped from me.
