Resel was shocked to the core after hearing this .She knew that he can easily kill her or her father and can leave without any evidence .She believed in him ,to be correct she believed in his capabilities for she has seen herself how intelligent and brainy was this man.She was bathing in cold swet and fear could be seen in her eyes.

Rune watched calmly .He somehow felt bad for treating her like this but he had someone more important to protect ,his sweeties.Remembering about his sweeties made his expression soft .For some reason he pitied the girl in front of him.

Miss Resel , you promised me that you will help me but now you ae denying it .It's totally on you whether you want to help me or not but as a friend i would be grateful if you keep our encounter as secret ,he said sincerely .With that he took out a dagger and placed it in front of thr table.

Resel was too scared to speak and the dagger only increased her anxiety.

Rune backed away a few steps "I only have this dagger with me as a weapon as weapons are strictly prohibited inside the library .If you want you can take it with you for your saftey.I won't harm you Miss Resel since you offered me your help and that too without any external motives. I am truly grateful for your a.s.sistance and if you want you can back out .

Don't worry the patrolling guards would not be back any soon so you can easily go back to your room without facing any danger "he said sincerely and calmly .

Listening to Rune made Resel uncomfortable .She was the one who suggested to help him and now she was denying to help him.Morover he had never harmed her be it earlier or now.Even at this time he gave his only dagger to her and even offered an apology .She knew very well that she can't harm him but with this dagger she can surely turn him to council .This dagger had two meanings with it .

First one was to apologize to her.

But the second reason spooked her to no end .His dagger also symbolise his power .It was a blatant insult to council.It suggested that even if she turn him to council he had many tricks and ways to release himself.This was the most vexing thing as the power of council was no less than lord but here this man ignored the council like a fly.

Also his sincere words conflicted her mind.

Why ?it was a single word but it contained many curious questions of her .

If you can give me sincere reason i promise to help you,she said while gritting her teeth .

Leaking this information can cost me my life and my father's life too so i want to know the true reason ,Resel said while glaring at him.

Rune took his sweet time to decide whether to tell her or notand in the last decided to tell her .

I promise to tell you but i also want a promise that you won't speak a word about it to any other soul.

Resel nodded her head weakly in acknowledgement .

Rune asked her to swear a blood oath."There is a big conspiracy going in the dark and soon the empire will witness horrific changes.Blue crystal is the key to solve the mystery of conspiracy.The council which you favor so much is the one that is behind all these"Rune sarcastically replied .

Resel mind went blank after listening this .She wanted to tell herself that this was all false but she knew inside her heart that this was all true.Every single word said by Rune made her s.h.i.+ver in fear.

Information about blue crystal can only be found in locked library ,Resel spoke abruptly .

There was no expression on her face and it made Rune suspicious .As far as he had studied her she was someone who would not be willing to give in so early but he hid his suspicion and waited patiently for her to continue.

I also don't know where is the locked library.Only father knows about it and he won't tell me ,she eyed him.

Rune too nodded in acknowledging her words.
