Partners in Crime (Part 1)

Prince Roland paid Odette a visit the following day. He had been thinking of cooperating with her for quite some time now but kept putting off holding a meeting with her. He had been busy improving his magic and wanted to focus on it first. He knew that Odette was into Vaughn, and he wanted to use that to his advantage. 

Roland was certain that King Odhran would not be able to refuse Odette's request. Roland had it all planned. He would use Odette to command the soldiers of Prazia, and he would use his grandfather's Dark Magic faction along with his own men to fulfill his own wish – take Zenia Anisen away from Vaughn.

In his estimate, Odette would never do something drastic and stay put for a while. The thought that King Odhran would make his move on behalf of his daughter did not cross his mind. He wondered what Odette had told her father that made him act drastically. On top of that, the Dark Magic Lord agreed quickly.
