Chapter 165

Amara POV

The party is ongoing, but Valerius has disappeared, and I spend most of my time with Titus. He's nice to me, but he stares… a lot.

"Amara," Titus says. "Such a lovely and uncommon name,"

"It's Swahili. It means beautiful or graceful," I tell him with a smile, and he repeats it silently.

We continue to talk as we walk in the garden. "Are you close to the royal family?" I ask.
