Chapter 26
Fiona stroked her chest to calm herself down. She looked around the library and sighed. Luckily, Marius had left after that minor incident. The threats that followed after she hit him were as intimidating as his six-foot-four height, but he actually left without hurting her. Fiona didn't know if she had gotten lucky, or if Marius was so surprised by her actions that he chose to leave her alone.

Elijah stepped closer, his expression gentle but firm. "No, Fiona. Everything will be fine. Trust me."
"But how did the King agree to this?" Fiona pressed, her voice trembling slightly. "I was married once. He knows that. I could bring you shame. I-

"He trusts my judgment. Besides, our arrangement benefits everyone. He sees that." Elijah answered almost immediately.
Fiona shook her head. "Does he really? Or is there something more he's not saying?"
