Chapter 557: [Bonus chapter]Trust

Dinner ended on a conflicting note, but they all understood one thing. Aries must know how to wield this gift, which they called a curse. Or else it might kill her, just as Marsella said. 

There was also another agreement that night, and that was for Marsella to stay in the Vandran residence. Aries wanted to stay in the imperial palace with Abel, but because of the matters regarding the night council, she had to stay in the House Vandran for the time being. 

For the sake of not meeting scandalous news about Aries being the emperor's mistress and for the empire's historical purposes, they had to follow their original plans. Aries was a little puzzled that Abel agreed to it so easily, but he told her he would invite her back to the imperial palace legally.
