Chapter 121: A Potential Trap

Dimitri POV

"I see," he said in response to Ariana's startling information. "And what are you going to do?"

"You mean what are WE going to do. This decision doesn't just affect me. It affects all of us." Ariana had her head up. "I know Irina. You do, too. I know better than to walk blindly into whatever trap she has planned. Never mind that she's in the dungeon. She's one of the cleverest people, and most determined, I think I've ever met."

Elina sniffed. "I suppose she is, but if that leaves this room, I know how to take revenge."

Ariana smiled slightly and pressed a finger to her lips. "As safe as a confessional."

"Good. Now, I find it disturbing that you're even considering talking to her," Elina said in a fiery way. "After everything she's done. And for her to demand that you come alone? To demand ANYTHING? What nerve!"
