Chapter 67. The Whole Falling on His Sword Thing (2)

When Aaron got to Elegantor Ludo, Emily had already made it up to her room. He walked through the doors like he owned the place, past The Purple Guard soldiers who didn’t dare intercept the pissed off prince and banged on the room door. When she didn’t open up, he shot the lock and kicked in the door. He walked straight up to Emily and grabbed her shoulders.

“Talk!”

“Trust me, you don’t want to be involved in this,” said Emily.

“I’m sorry, did someone else just save your ass? Explain yourself!”

Troy and his men showed up then.

“Secure the room. Find the kid,” he said, watching them fill the room.

Emily whipped her head in Aaron’s direction.

“You called him?!”

“What kid?” Aaron asked.

Emily and Troy exchanged heated glances.

“You know what? Forget this. What does all of this have to do with Adele?”

He’d meant to say Aria, but Aaron was tired and confused out of his mind.

Troy gave Aaron a surprised look.
