In Sasha's chamber, Sasha was deeply engrossed in searching for a potent spell to reinforce the portal she aimed to conjure, hoping to track down Dominik Smirnov. Meanwhile, Ophelia stood by the window, looking out at the heavy rain.
A flicker of concern crossed her face. She had slipped away from Nikolai's side while he was still fast asleep. The fact that he hadn't stirred to search for her, despite the stormy weather, revealed that he was asleep.
"Tiana Novikov," she muttered, her fingers twirling through her hair.
She looked at Esmeralda with concern. "Danil seems familiar with her, and I have a terrible feeling. I don't like it one bit."
Esmeralda placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "Let's focus on finding the moonstone from Dominik. That's our priority."
But Ophelia shook her head. "I want to find Tiana myself. You and Esme should focus on getting the stone."
