Kylian entered quickly, his expression hard. “Were you inside?” “Only near the entrance.” “That was not what I asked.” I looked at him. “Yes.” His jaw tightened. “You should have waited.” “I did not know someone had broken in until I saw the lock.” “And after you saw it?” “The guards checked the room first.” He released a slow breath, clearly unhappy but unwilling to argue with me before
