Not Staying Here

Zane decided that he would stay and talk further with Jovani about the matter while Lena and Samuel left to discuss what the best option might be. The princess was staunchly against it after Jovani had dismissed her suggestion that she come with them for the same reason he said that it would be unwise for the head of the Vedova Nera to their estate. 

"You really think that it would turn out that badly?" Samuel asked as he sat in one of the arm chairs in the sunroom. Lena who refused to sit down with him was standing in the middle of the room with her arms crossed on a scowl on her face. He continued speaking when she chose not to reply, too busy with her thoughts trying to figure out an alternative option.
