Chapter 129

MILAN

"Where are we going?" Marietta asked as I pulled her towards the palace yard while Crista followed us. I wanted to leave this place quickly because I had already seen Risa following Mercer and Ragnar and yelling at them with a very angry look on her face after we left the arena and I knew she would be coming for Crista next so I had to get her and Marietta away from the palace.

I honestly felt bad for Crista because she was in huge trouble now and judging from the look on her face right now, she doesn't know it. Ragnar and Mercer had only given the crown of dragon roses to the maiden they found the most beautiful in the arena but what they had truly done was paint a target on Crista's back seeing as Risa, Risa's sisters and Mercer's mother would be coming after her. Even some women that had been in the arena might come after her out of spite because the two jousting champions chose her as the most beautiful one in the arena.
