Author's note: This is from Seraphina's point of view

Lazarus turned to me. "Tell me, princess, how is Aldus allowing this charade to go on? Love doesn't mean anything if it will take you to your grave early. Don't you see that this halfling will harm you no matter how your little experiment ends? Even if he doesn't sink his fangs into your throat the moment his feral wolf awakens, he will put a big target on your back and someone will get you eventually."

I knew that Lazarus was right.

Everything he said was correct, yet wrong at the same time.

Lazarus knew that I blew up half of the villa because I heard that Duke fathered a child and is about to marry Magda. He knew that Duke grew up sheltered and ignorant. He knew that Duke's background will bring us troubles.
