The fall of Rian (5)

"It's going to be easy for you since you already look the part." Bardumond made it sound easier than it actually was.

Something about the thought didn't sit well with her.

"How exactly am I going to do that?" She asked, thinking in her mind that he was crazy if he thought she was really going to ettempt such a thing.

"I don't know. You think of something." He brushed a hand through her hair. Her eyebrows scrunched in a frown and he knew that she would consider it. "See you at dinner."

"See you." She muttered out a whisper, cringing at the thought of Dairon's interaction with Blaze. Would they break into a fight as soon as they saw each other? She could only hope that they wouldn't, but there was only one way to find out.

It was not difficult to convince Dairon to join her and Blaze's family for dinner so that evening, they both went to his castle.
