Junia's pov
I heaved a breath when I walked out of the dining chamber, my heart racing.
Stepping closer to Ashmaris was stupid idea, my stomach churned.
I was stupid to think he would kiss me.
Do I want him to?
I should focus the plan.
Get Ashmaris distracted and my father will be able to bring him down. Then I will be free, my people will be free from oppression.
I should go back in there and tell him, I would join the contest. What if he ask about the person who helped me escaped.
I don't want him to kill Ishkara, she do be useful at some point if I play my cards right.
Then an idea struck in my head, I would go ask Ignara and ask her about the Contest.
I entered women's quarter before bumping into a tall dragonic woman. She is older and beautiful but she wasn't put together like other ladies.
Her eyes scanned me, then a smile appear on her face. "Your are the king's mate, I thought you ran away?" her voice was loud.
I couldn't help but smile awkwardly. "I came back."
