Chapter 141

RYN

My heart raced as the weight of the entire situation dawned on me.

Did Theon just lose his job trying to defend me? And now Prince Miro is in a hot seat?

Dark silence settled on the table, only permeated by the soft sound of music and the soft chatter of people in the hall.

I wonder if they can see the drama unfolding.

"Well, I'm waiting for your answer." The King intensified his glare and Prince Miro leaned back in his seat, deep in thought. After a thick moment of anticipation, Miro looked at his father. "I do not permit Ryn Ashmore to partake in this duty." I almost sighed in relief.

The King blinked in surprise, but then his face contorted in a fit of rage. "I knew you'd always be a d gritted out. "You're fired! Dutton?" He called without taking his eyes off his green-eyed son.

"Yes, your Majesty." Dutton replied with a lazy smile and I immediately broke out in sweat.

"You are now appointed Commander of the Elites. What. Say. You?"

Dutton chuckled. "I give full permission for Ryn Ashmore to partake in this duty."

nent." He

The King turned to me with a predatory smile. "Now, Miss Ashmore, what do you say? Will you go with our guest here and help us save this kingdom or...?"

I could barely breathe as I looked at Miro, who had his eyes down in defeat. Mr. Cresswell seemed upset but looked defeated as well under the glare of his wife and Theon simply sat in his chair, glaring at his father while also seeming deep in thought. I matched the stare of the other Elites, seeing their smug smile.

It would be selfish of me to ask more of the twins after all they've done for me. I am on my own now and I have to find a way out of this mess.

"What happens if I say no?" I asked with a leveled voice.

The King's mood darkened. "We lose this secret and it will be all your fault!"

"False. I get to fight Olive and win the secret." Theon interjected, but his father snarled.

"There will be no fight! It's either Miss. Ashmore goes with him or we lose the ability to bring Dominic down!"

I blinked in surprise. Dominic Tarrent? The one who killed the twins' sister?

Now everything has changed. I have to help. I have to do something. Coming to a decision, I took a deep breath and squared my shoulders. "I will say yes but I have conditions."

"Ryn." Theon warned, but I ignored him.

The King watched me warily. "What conditions?"
