For various reasons today, Marion who usually could think clearly suddenly couldn't come up with any good tactics or strategy so she could deceive Alaric. She was too shaken to sit still and analyze the situation.
One thing was for certain, she did not want Alaric to know that she was only disguising as Aleksis. The man would be very hurt once he found out that the girl he saved was not really his wife, but a fake Aleksis sent by his own father.
The longer Marion stayed with him, the more she became afraid that her disguise would be exposed.
Alaric must not know that his father was the one after him ...
Marion could not imagine how bad the relationship between the two men would become once Alaric learned the truth.
Lauriel would be very sorry, but his regrets would come too late. By then, Alaric would have already hated him so much...
This is getting really intense!
