AURORA’S POV
Aurora watched as the man gasped.
The sword went straight through him, and then there was blood seeping down.
He looked at his stomach, and then blood came out from his mouth.
Aurora watched in horror as the sword was dragged out.
The man fell dead to the floor.
Aurora looked up and saw the last person in the world she would have expected it to be.
It was none other than Princess Cherry.
She gasped.
"Your majesty." She gasped in shock.
Cherry smiled at her. "Hello, Aurora."
Cherry used her napkin to clean the blade.
"It is quite bad I did not get to see you until the final day of the halo festival."
She expertly cleaned the blade.
"Is this really you?" She asked, shocked.
"In the flesh." Cherry shined her white teeth.
"Sorry about that mess," Cherry said, referring to the dead man on the floor. "He was collateral damage. He had to go."
"H-how did you even get here? I thought you left already." Aurora said in confusion.
"Oh, I had to use a portal," Cherry said. "The perks of using dark magic."
"What do you want?" Aurora asked.
Aurora had heard a few things about Princess Cherry.
She was not to be trusted. That was the main thing.
It was also known that she had been the one to sit down on Xaden’s family’s call for help when they had been attacked.
Although this was known to probably only a handful of people.
Aurora had known because of the insiders she had had to dig.
Cherry was not to be trusted. She knew that.
"Well, you have something that I want," Cherry said with a smile.
Aurora swallowed. "I don’t have anything belonging to you."
"Nonsense," Cherry said, tucking her black hair behind her ears. "We both know that I know that that is a lie."
Cherry began to circle her as she spoke. "I have been keeping an eye on you and your movements. Your little bid to gain your lost favor in the eyes of a man who will never see you."
"You have been spying on me?" Aurora asked in anger.
"Honey, I spy on everyone. It is what I do," Cherry said. You uncovered something, and I want it buried. Jasmine."
Aurora scoffed. "Jasmine is a mere slave. What does she have on you that you want to remain buried."
"You truly want to know?" Cherry asked. "Choose wisely, dear. Keep this to yourself. Swear a blood oath to me, and I will spare you."
