Chapter 128: Nothing But A Dangerous Woman

DAHLIA POV

"Looks like we are finally getting that bonding time princess!" Nikolai said as he met me in the courtyard where I was busy watching the servants fix up the carriage for my journey.

"Yeah well don’t get too excited, it wasn’t my idea." I countered, smiling when Nikolai pouted at me in response.

I was right though, if I had my way, all I would have done was grab my horse and run out of here to my father’s castle. I do not even care about his threats, I was furious with him. After everything I had done, he had to betray me like that and what about the lie?

The assassin’s face flashed in my mind again and no matter how many times I willed myself to believe what I had seen that night couldn’t be true, I know it was. I even had nightmares about it, it doesn’t matter how many times I close my eyes and willed the nightmare away, I still always saw that same face, those startling green eyes that looked like mine. Which is exactly why I have to go to my father’s place and confirm things for myself because it can’t be true.

Call me delusional or tell me I’m being in denial, but I wasn’t willing to believe anything till I have at least seen things for myself.

When Nikolai had confirmed that everything was okay, he turned to look at me and a single nod was all the confirmation I needed. I hiked myself up as I made my way to the carriage and just as I was about to get in, someone suddenly called my name.

I whirled around to see Lady Ivana rushing towards me, a servant following closely behind her with a trunk in her hand. I arched a brow up in question as she got closer towards me and then she motioned to the servant to go give my servant her trunk.

"I’m sorry, what’s happening?" I asked feeling confused about what I had just seen.

Lady Ivana turned to look at me before she shook her head. "Oh pardon me, I seem to have forgotten in all my excitement but I’m coming with." She announced and I gaped at her still feeling confused.

I only heard that she was coming with but to where? "I’m sorry to where? Do you...do you perhaps need us to drop you off somewhere or..."

"Oh don’t be silly," Lady Ivana scoffed in disbelief as she waved a fan in front of me, "I’m coming with you to the castle!" She announced with a big bright smile on her face as if it was the most natural thing in the world.

The smile froze on my face as I blinked, my brain struggling to come in terms with the information. What does she mean she’s coming with me? "I’m sorry Lady Ivana, I don’t quite follow."

"Then I guess, I will have no problem explaining everything to you in the carriage." Lady Ivana said in an enthusiastic tone before she turned to walk off.

I reached out to grab a hold of her wrist just before she could walk any further. Fixing her with a stern look, I pulled her close to me. "Listen very closely Ivana, I don’t know what it is you are playing with here but you’ve had your fun!"

"That’s a shame, because to me it seems to me the fun is just only beginning." Lady Ivana said with a smirk and my hold on her wrist tightened.

"Well whatever games you are playing will just have to wait. The castle isn’t just a place anyone goes to and I am not going on a vacation, so why don’t you do me a favor and quit being so fucking annoying?" I asked her.

Ivana cocked her head at me, a smirk on her face as she stared at me. "Now, now, Lady Dahlia, that isn’t any way to treat the women who just saved your life."

"Oh I am grateful for that, believe me I am and you will be compensated well for it." I said moving closely towards her. "But as of right now, I do not have time for any of your mind games. You are not going to be going anywhere, you will stay here and wait behind. When I come back, we will discuss over some refreshments." I said, my voice holding a bit of an edge to it.

Lady Ivana’s lips only pulled into a smile that felt chilling. The woman just continued to baffle me day by day. First she showed up out of nowhere and tells me everything is a game while declaring she is on the winning side and now all of a sudden she is playing best buddies with me? Even going as far as to say she was going to be coming with me to the castle.

Another day I would have found her a little bit amusing but now, she was nothing more than an annoyance to me. Time was wasting and I need to get to the castle to have a talk with my father. Satisfied that she finally got the answer, I turned to leave but Ivana suddenly held my hand tighter, using it to pull me backwards.

"Actually, I think I will like to have that refreshment right about now!"

"Listen Ivana, I do not have time for this!" I hissed at her but my threat only seemed more amusing to Ivana as her hand curled even tighter against my wrist.

"Oh is that so?" She asked with a smile, "Well then I guess you will just have to make time for me then, black knight!" She added the last part in a whisper.

Immediately she spoke those words, I could have sworn that everything seemed to have stopped, safe for my heart that was beating erratically in my chest. My gaze rose to Ivana, wanting to be sure that I had heard wrong but when Ivana grinned, practically showing all her teeth, I knew right then that she was nothing but a dangerous woman!
