Chapter 128: Nothing But A Dangerous Woman
DAHLIA POV
"Looks like we are finally getting that bonding time princess!" Nikolai said as he met me in the courtyard where I was busy watching the servants fix up the carriage for my journey.
"Yeah well don’t get too excited, it wasn’t my idea." I countered, smiling when Nikolai pouted at me in response.
I was right though, if I had my way, all I would have done was grab my horse and run out of here to my father’s castle. I do not even care about his threats, I was furious with him. After everything I had done, he had to betray me like that and what about the lie?
The assassin’s face flashed in my mind again and no matter how many times I willed myself to believe what I had seen that night couldn’t be true, I know it was. I even had nightmares about it, it doesn’t matter how many times I close my eyes and willed the nightmare away, I still always saw that same face, those startling green eyes that looked like mine. Which is exactly why I have to go to my father’s place and confirm things for myself because it can’t be true.
Call me delusional or tell me I’m being in denial, but I wasn’t willing to believe anything till I have at least seen things for myself.
When Nikolai had confirmed that everything was okay, he turned to look at me and a single nod was all the confirmation I needed. I hiked myself up as I made my way to the carriage and just as I was about to get in, someone suddenly called my name.
I whirled around to see Lady Ivana rushing towards me, a servant following closely behind her with a trunk in her hand. I arched a brow up in question as she got closer towards me and then she motioned to the servant to go give my servant her trunk.
"I’m sorry, what’s happening?" I asked feeling confused about what I had just seen.
Lady Ivana turned to look at me before she shook her head. "Oh pardon me, I seem to have forgotten in all my excitement but I’m coming with." She announced and I gaped at her still feeling confused.
I only heard that she was coming with but to where? "I’m sorry to where? Do you...do you perhaps need us to drop you off somewhere or..."
"Oh don’t be silly," Lady Ivana scoffed in disbelief as she waved a fan in front of me, "I’m coming with you to the castle!" She announced with a big bright smile on her face as if it was the most natural thing in the world.
