Chapter 26

Death.

Lenin and Jetli must have gone to the kitchen without me, because they didn't come back to the chamber. My stomach's growling again and I have no idea what the hell's wrong with me-why am I acting so weird? I end up putting my pyjamas on, find an energy bar in the drawer and start eating it to stop thinking about the duke.

This new jealousy is beginning to worry me. I shouldn't have any feelings whatsoever towards Jorgen, and yet I hate the way Cassandra confidently flirted with him in front of everyone. It makes my blood boil thinking about it. I'm sticking around along with Lenin and Jetli because we have nowhere else to go. Besides, the duke needs to give me some kind of task or duties to complete as his assistant. I can't keep sitting around doing nothing all day long. Eventually, the staff and guards will begin to ask questions-it doesn't look good.
