Chapter 115 : The Puppet Master

I froze as the shadows cleared and I saw the person that had come to the dungeons.

It was Eros.

His eyes widened and he stared at my thorny, waving roots. He cringed slightly.

What the hell was he doing here?

“Is that…” he pointed at Helen.

“What do you want?” I snapped.

Eros cleared his throat, “We need to go. They are coming.”

“Who?”

Before I could react, Eros dodged past the flailing roots. He scooped Helen into his arms.

“Let her go, or I will end you!” I snapped, spinning around and aiming my roots at Eros.

“Really, Mila? Do you want to waste time and fight the entire elite royal guard, or do you want to get out of here?”

I stared at him. He was right. As furious as I was, there was no way I could fight off an entire army and get us out of here easily on my own.

“Follow me, quickly!”

He ran toward the dungeon door and I followed him. There weren’t any other better choices at this point.

Eros confused me. Why was he back here? He had his freedom, he didn’t need to risk his life for me or Helen.

Why didn’t he leave when he had the chance? What was he trying to prove?

Was it possible that he was here because of Ashley? Was he trying to show me, and her, that he wasn’t that horrible after all?

I didn’t know if I could trust him but I followed because I didn’t want him to take Helen out of my sight.

For a moment, I wondered if Eros was still working for the king. It couldn’t be a trick from the king, could it?

There was no way I was letting my guard down around him but if he was going to help, I’d take what I could get. He already had Helen in his arms and I didn’t have any other choice.

“Why are you here?” I asked, hurrying to keep pace with him.

The king freed him. He should have been halfway across the realm by now! Why had he come back?

“I was on my way out, but guess who I saw?”

“Just answer my damn question!”

He glanced at me and the slight smile on his lips faded. He must have realized I wasn’t thinking of him as a friend. Again, he cleared his throat.
