The Helio's Bride
A princess with a twisted past. When her fate takes an unfortunate turn, she is thrown off her pedestal and into the web of marriage with the bloodthirsty king of the enemy kingdom. Faced with life and death choices, Delaney must decide whether to side with the enemy—her new husband—or her family who betrayed her. __ As the son of the sun goddess, Darius finds his life unnecessarily long and boring. Until he meets his bride, Delaney, the feisty, fiery princess who is rumored to have rejected suitors by the dozen, the only female descendant of his arch nemesis, and a demon princess. When they get married, will he use her in his quest for revenge, or fall in the trap of her charm like every other male does?

Why would Destrian send her a maid? Marlena wondered.
The woman was saying one thing but using the spider to tell her another, which meant her words were supposed to cover up for the truth in case someone was listening in on their conversation.
Despite wearing commoners' clothes, the woman was graceful and poised, much like a lady from an aristocratic family. This was no maid. She was probably someone Destrian was sending to protect her.
Did he know about the assassination attempt?
She couldn't dismiss the possibility considering the incident happened so close to Itrusia. It was thoughtful of him to send over someone to protect her, but she couldn't accept it.
"Thank you for thinking about me, but I do not need a maid." She said.
The woman's first reaction was to glance at the spider, wondering if it was able to communicate their purpose to Marlena.
