Arianna/Thea

"Do you have anything to add?" one of the older looking men who was here to supervise us asked me, snapping me out of my conversation with Cosmo.

Someone scoffed to my right, I turned to see one of the newcomers like me was smirking while looking at me.

ignoring him I turned to man in front of me, "who do we need to be concerned about the most while doing this mission?"

It is clear from what Rocco said that there will be danger and they won't help us when someone caught us. So, who will catch us. Knowing the threat will help us prepare better for this.

"Well, the royal soldiers are always on our asses, but on this mission, the black fang might try to sabotage this mission." my eyes narrowed at his response, there is something going on.

I turned to find Athos staring at me but as soon as I looked, he averted his eyes, making me more suspicious.

"The black Fang are our rivals, so you guys need to be most careful of them." Athos said with a serious expression, his gaze lingering on me a bit longer than the others.

Which I tried to ignore but I can feel his presence with every breath he takes.

"Your mission is the day after tomorrow, so you guys have plenty of time to prepare." we all nodded,

"We will need a pass to enter serenity, how will we get that, are you going to give it to us?" the guy beside me asked the one in front of me.

"it is your mission, so you have to get the pass." he doesn't seem very helpful, why is he even assigned to help us?

"I'll get it, and one for all of you as well." the one at the end of the table said with a smug look, showing off his connections.

After intense planning for about an hour, we finished, and it was close to midnight when all of us were ready to go home.

After changing into my clothes, I went to Rocco's office to hand him the clothes he gave me. i don't know where to put them.

before i could enter i heard him ask someone

"How can you be so sure that she is in kysoria?"

"You know I can feel the magic," it was Athos, I feel like I will be able to recognize his voice anywhere. "I felt her magic in Kysoria, I alerted all the other cities to search for her as well." i frowned in confusion as to who they were talking about.

"There is some kind of spell around her, that is keeping me from tracking her further." Athos continued. "We only have one month left before her wedding," every nerve in my body froze, it couldn't be,

"we need to find Princess Arianna before her wedding."
