“‘She may not have wanted it, but she was already paying the price for me insulting Bjorn when I chose to follow his brother. If l didn’t do as I was told, they would have K*lled Ingrid just to make an example out of me,” Brigit a*s*serted.
“But you chose to sacrifice Aspen, so l guess we’ll never know now,” Savvy wanted to stop her. The sad story did not change anything, and she did not want to lose her focus because she felt pity.
“Just take him with you when you run!” Brigit begged, casting a desperate gaze at her.
“Why do you think I am going to run?” Savvy scoffed, but the white bear waved her hand, implying that her plan was kind of obvious now.
“Because l know you,” Brigit snapped. “l know you will never give up.”
“Well, I feel like giving up,” Savvy let her shoulders drop as if she was defeated already. “What can I do when l am cuffed, and my strength is literally drained from me? What can I do against Bjorn, who is enhanced by a deity?!”
“You can use a divine weapon to K*ll him,” Brigit said, and now Savvy turned to look at her with interest.
“And where would I find one?” she asked bluntly.
“The bracelet on your arm is a divine weapon.
Everything Joran makes is a divine weapon. Including the dagger he always tucks behind his belt.” Brigit informed her. “Get one of them to take your bracelet off, use that dagger and you will be golden.”
“And while I do all that, what are you going to be doing?” Savvy arched her brow, her heart full of hope.. and suspicion.
“I will be where my people need me,” the white bear admitted “But I will do everything in my power to help you and Aspen to escape.
“Who is he? Who is Joran? What do you know about him?” The Western Princess wanted to get as much information as possible, but Brigit only shook her head to stop her.
“No one knows much about him, but one thing is for sure,” the she-bear lowered her voice, “Bjorn listens to him even though he doesn’t like him much. And his strength comes from Joran.”
They stood staring at each other, a silent understanding forming between them.
“We need to go,” Brigit sighed finally, “He is inspecting his army on the outskirts, but he will be back soon. And then he will go straight to your room.”
“Fine,” Savwy agreed, “but since we are besties again, do me a favour.”
“What do you want?”
“Go to Chloe and Claude and give them a message from me,” Savannah smirked because now, finally, the last bits of her plan were falling into place.
“What is the message?” Brigit did not seem too eager to go to the twins, but that was oddly rea*s*suring. If she seemed too eager, it could have been fake. It could be fake even now, only time would tell, but the message itself was safe. Only the siblings would know what to do after hearing this.
“Tell them to do their job,” the princess’ l!ps curled into a grin.
Brigit was wrong, and Bjorn did not come during the night, which gave Savannah a few hours of sleep. She spent the rest of the time planning and plotting. On the one hand, everything seemed so simple, but on the other, there were a million scenarios of how it could go wrong.
The maids entered her room without permission, bringing in dresses and jewellery in luxurious sparkling boxes.
“What is this?” Savvy rubbed her temples, tired of it all already.
“Gifts from the King,” one of the maids replied, arranging the presents before her. Beautiful dresses in different colours were arranged on chairs and the bed so that she could see them better. At the same time, boxes from the best jewellers with necklaces and earrings in diamonds, rubies, emeralds and sapphires were opened and placed next to the matching outfits.
“For your marking ceremony,” another maid added but quickly bit her tongue when Savvy’s eyes darted to her. She wasn’t angry, though, as Chloe had already told her about that during their brief meeting.
“My queen,” one of the girls approached her with a royal blue dress in her hands, “Could you try this on, please? You can pick whichever dress you like for tonight, but we need to make sure first that the size fits you.”
Everything inside of her told her to object and to make a scene. Athena growled in protest, but Savannah nodded and stood up. She was going to play a good girl tonight and she had to make it believable.
She was in the middle of the dress fitting when the doors opened again and Bjorn walked in confidently.
There were many women in the room now, but his eyes only found Savannah, greedily devouring every inch of her in that beautiful shimmering gown. She was his perfection, and his l!ps curled involuntarily into a smile as he took her in.
“You look beautiful,” he breathed out, gesturing for everyone else to leave them alone.
Thank you,” she responded dryly. “It’s not like I have a choice, do I?”
His smile dropped, but he did not deny himself the ple@sure of brushing his fingers over her bare back, creating goosebumps. Bjorn believed with his whole heart that she was already starting to feel their bond.
Soon all this would pass, and they would be able to properly embrace each other whenever they wanted it.
The anticipation of that moment helped him to keep waiting. Why rush things if he could have it all?
However, Savannah flinched from his touch and was about to step away from him when he wrapped his hands around her wa!st, holding her in place. She was standing in front of the mirror, beautiful and perfect, the queen he had always dreamed of, and even her cold eyes couldn’t take away from his happiness.
“Don’t be angry,” he placed a soft k!ss on her shoulder, wishing to do so much more, but knowing it was too early for that. She was unhappy again, exasperated to the tipping point.
“Why would I be?” A sneer distorted her pretty l!ps. “
