Chapter 250

• Emilia’s POV
• The tension in the room was like a noose tightening with every word. I felt like I was suffocating, and I felt even more stupid for convincing Alaric to come with me to this stupid dinner in the first place.
• Everytime I felt like we were finally edging towards peace, Alonso always drags us right back to square one. And Alaric doesn’t seem to mind, as far as he gets the chance to accuse Alonso of anything he could put his mind on.
