“That’s a very strange request, Joran,” she chewed on the inside of her cheek thinking about it.
Her initial reaction would be a big fat no. But then she suddenly realised she wasn’t going to have any children at all. Her mate was an as*hole, and she K*lled him, The only man she ever loved was dead.
This was her end. She had nothing to lose. She would bear no children. Her story would be over when she K*lled Bjorn and burnt that place.
“It is what it is,” he smirked at her, probably knowing he got her interest. “Take it or leave it.”
“Can I think about it?” She didn’t want to rush making any decisions.
“Sure!” He laughed again and stood up. “When you make up your mind, just speak to me again.
And now, excuse me, I have something of mine to retrieve from here.”
He left her alone, and as soon as he was gone, the three maids returned with trays full of food.
Savannah didn’t make a scene this time, aware of the fact that they needed to know she kept her word. She promised them to have breakfast if they did what she wanted and it was time to pay the price. Not to mention that she had to eat to get stronger and bring this plan of hers to life.
Although it was early to call that a plan. She still didn’t know how to go about it all.
When she was done, the maids looked at her awaiting orders, and she decided not to disappoint.
“Where is Bjorn?” she asked them bluntly because wherever he was, she had to be far away from that place.
“He will be back in the evening, my Queen,” one of the girls informed her. “He is inspecting the army, preparing for the siege.”
“Is someone about to siege this place?” she asked, hope rising in her chest rapidly, but, judging by their faces, she got the answer quickly. They were preparing for an attack. Something ma*s*sive this time.
“West or North?” she clenched her l!ps to stop them from trembling.
The maids lowered their heads, not responding to her.
“We don’t know,” one of them said, but Savvy was sure they lied not to make her angry.
It didn’t make any difference. She would just have to act before that happened. From this moment on, the clock was ticking.
“Fine.” She pretended to wave them off, and they were happy to leave, but when the last one was already at the door, Savannah stopped her.”
Wait”
The same unlucky girl turned to face her hesitantly.
“Yes, my Queen?” She tried to f0rce a polite smile, but by now, she already knew that her “Queen ” would only bring her trouble.
“I would like to speak with the woman who was brought here together with me,” Savvy announced in a tone that brooked no objections. “Bring her here “
This time the girl didn’t hesitate and just nodded, disappearing behind the door. Apparently, this request was expected.
Savannah went back to the window to study the visible perimeter. This castle had a few advantages for the owners. It would be practically impossible to attack it from the icy cliff and the sea, which left only the main entrance they brought her through the first time as a vulnerable place. This would be the main line of defence for Bjorn and the only way out for anyone wishing to escape.
Some time passed, but the maid still didn’t bring Petra in, which made the Princess worried.
She felt stronger today, and she knew she couldn’t leave Petra alone here.
The old door creaked, and her head snapped to see her new guest. Her excited expression soon dropped, though, because the maid didn’t bring Petra. Instead, Chloe was standing right in front of her, wearing a dazzling white dress. Just like one of those she wore while she worked as a presenter atThe Luna Trials. Beautiful, expensive, stylish, but not over the top.
“It’s not the one meant” Savvy frowned. She and Chloe never had the best relationship, to begin with. And she could tell, the presenter had already found a new job here.
“Oh, I am so sorry” the maid was panicking again. The girl really had the worst first day at work.
“It’s the only one I know of who arrived together with you.”
“It can’t be!” Savannah was annoyed and terified at the same time. Petra was hard not to notice. “A pretty, sweet girl with pink curly hair arrived with me. Short. Cries a lot. Wears puffy dresses.”
She stared at the maid, but the latter had no clue who Savvy was talking about.
“What a mess!” The Princess covered her eyes with her hands.
“Let’s go,” the maid tried to make Chloe leave the room together, but the reporter stepped closer to Savvy.
“I know where she is,”‘ she declared, looking at the Princess with a mix of hope and belligerence.
Can we speak?”
Savvy dismissed the maid but did not offer Chloe a seat. She didn’t know yet where the TV presenter’s loyalties lay.
“I see you are well,” she started the conversation.
“l am a hostage,” Chloe admitted bluntly and in a dry tone. It had nothing similar to how it usually sounded when she was talking in front of the cameras.
“The question is if you are a hostage or a guest, Savannah decided to test her a bit more.
“A hostage!” Chloe insisted, gritting her teeth. “
They keep Claude and me alive because the North trusts our opinion. They make us say things we would never say otherwise.”
“Poor you” Savvy sighed. “They probably had to t*ortur*e you to achieve this effect. Did it hurt?
