Keira tried to sit up and speak, but found herself too weak. Just as she was about to say something, everything started spinning, and she passed out.
She didn’t know how much time had passed, but when she woke up again, she was in a hospital.
As her eyes fluttered open, someone spoke, "She’s awake!"
Keira looked up to see a nurse and a soldier wearing a face mask, standing nearby with a gun, eyeing her warily.
Keira immediately scanned the room but didn’t see Lewis by her side.
"Where’s Solomon? Where is he?" she asked, her voice tinged with panic.
The nurse replied, "You mean the man who was with you? He’s in the next room. Don’t worry, his bleeding has stopped. I just need to ask you a few questions."
Keira glanced at the soldier, recognizing that she wasn’t authorized by anyone from the South family’s island.
"Go ahead," she said, her voice steady despite the unease creeping in.
Keira wasn’t worried. The South family’s island was huge, and most people in this city wouldn’t recognize her. After all, the heirs to the family were kept secret.
Most of the islanders wouldn’t have a clue who she was. Even these soldiers likely didn’t know her.
The soldiers who protected them were from the Royal Guard—the elite of the South family’s military.
Besides, when Keira first came to the island, she’d learned how special it was. It was one of the only habitable islands in the sea.
People who got stranded in the surrounding waters often ended up on the island, meaning there were always a few hundred drifters washing up every year.
The local population lived comfortably, with wealthy families, but because of that, the island had very little productivity. The South family actually welcomed the drifters with no identities, hiring them to serve the local residents.
If the drifters kept clean, they could be employed like maids and make a life for themselves on the island.
But the South family also watched out for spies, so basic interrogations were standard procedure.
