Arianna/Thea

Perched upon the sloping roof of the wizard's tower, I marveled at the breathtaking spectacle unfolding before me.

The sun began its ascent, casting golden hues across the sky, while a gentle breeze whispered through the air, carrying with it a delicate and intriguing fragrance that mingled both sweetness and sourness.

From my elevated vantage point, I could see the sprawling gardens of the palace below, their lush greenery and vibrant blooms a feast for the eyes.

As the golden rays of the sun danced upon the palace gardens below, the bustling city seemed to shrink in comparison.

The intricate buildings appeared as mere playthings from this far.

Yet, amidst this tranquil beauty, my thoughts were consumed by the events of the last night, replaying in my mind like an incessant refrain

I released a deep, weary sigh, allowing my body to relax as I leaned back, my hands supporting me on the weathered tiles, closing my eyes as the first rays of the sun warmed my skin

It sent shivers down my spine when I thought about how close I was to getting caught and being shipped off to Aradia, then there would have been no way for me to escape and I had to marry prince alexander.

Athos said that some kind of spell was blocking him from tracking me, is it because of Artemis?

Another heavy sigh escaped me, she is never here, it has been days since I last saw her.

How did she know that someone would come looking for me?

When she is doing so much for me, why did she choose to keep me in the dark?

I would have been more careful with how I used my magic.

But no, she has to be rude and cryptic.

What should I do now? Should I cease my association with them, cutting ties to safeguard myself?

Or would continuing to work alongside them grant me a chance to monitor their activities closely?

They see me as a witch, oblivious to my true identity as Princess Arianna.

It was an advantage I could exploit without arousing suspicion.

What do I do now?
