Chapter 40: Desire
"You staring at Alaric wasn’t baseless gossip," Dion said with a knowing smirk.
Violet, the way you looked at him was so captivating, I swear the sparks in your eyes could have rivaled Alaric’s own thunderbolts."
At once, a blush crept up Violet’s face, and she couldn’t exactly deny it, not when there was picture evidence. Yes, the Oracle had somehow captured her staring at Alaric while he slept during class.
But she had only looked because he was undeniably handsome at that moment. Unfortunately, her innocent admiration had been twisted into something more by the gossip column.
And to make matters worse, how dare that coward, hiding behind her pen and paper, suggest she had any kind of interest in Griffin? She would sooner cut her own throat than have anything to do with that bastard.
"Moreover," Dion said, the amusement fading from his face, "no one knows who the Oracle is, and neither do we search for her—"
"Why assume the Oracle is a ’her’? It could be a ’he’ for all you know," Violet interrupted.
"From the tone of the articles, it sounds feminine—like gossip between girls—so we assume it’s a she," Dion replied.
"It could also be a disguise, a trick to throw people off his trail in case anyone tries to find him," Violet reasoned.
"Whether the Oracle is a he or a she, the point is that no one searches for the Oracle. If anything, the Oracle finds you instead. She’s a collector of information, which means she probably has secrets on everyone here, making her either a dangerous enemy or a powerful ally. It all depends on which side you want her to be," Dion explained.
But Violet snorted. "She doesn’t scare me. I don’t have secrets."
Dion frowned. "Don’t push your luck. The Oracle has sources everywhere, making information retrieval look like a piece of cake. And look at what happened today, she doesn’t need an ugly secret to turn your life upside down."
While Dion’s warning sank in, Violet’s gears began to turn. "So, she might be able to find my parents then?" she asked.
Dion said
