Chapter 384 So Very Dangerous
Sariel paced the length of the balcony, her boots clicking rhythmically against the stone tiles.The wind whipped her dark hair around her face, but she didn't even notice. Her mind was occupied with far more important things.
Right now, her fury burned so hot, she was sure nothing could extinguish it.
It had been a full day since Princess Akiko arrived at the Crossroads, and everything felt as if it had shifted out of her control.
She couldn't stop the sense of loss and bitterness rising up within her. The last relic had been her hope. Her hope for a fulfilling life.
And now, that too was snatched from her.
Not only had Akiko acknowledged Ezra but Ezra's existence itself had been the last straw.
The last relic should've been hers by right!
Who else was more loyal?!
Who else had betrayed everyone close to them to be here?!
Who else had given their life for the Monarchy?!
She stopped abruptly, gripping the balcony railing so tight that her knuckles turned white.
She stared out into the darkness of the estate grounds, her mind kept repeating the same questions.
What could she do to salvage her position? To remind the Monarchy that she was more than just a tool?
The thought of being cast aside for Ezra Matten filled her with a cold, seething rage.

Sariel spun around, instantly alert and
"You would have spoiled everything." She murmured, speaking more to herself than to the body at her feet. "I can't have that."
"Ezra is far too interesting, and I won't let anyone get in the way of what's coming."
She turned and walked back into the mansion, leaving the balcony–and Sariel–behind.
