"Your Highness." Eon intoned as Azura stepped into view, bowing as though they were in a high
society gala and she was still wearing her tiara and evening gown, not the dirty wrap she
currently had on.
"Why are you here?" Azura asked, wondering where the fuck was her husband!
"His Highness had pressing business that he couldn't put off but thought certain things should
be finalized."
"What things?" Azura questioned, adjusting her grip on the machete. Did Vlad decide to send
Eon to do a clean-up? Azura wasn't about to become the good doctor. Eon had a way off this
island and if killing him got her to the mainland, so be it.
He eyed the machete then smiled. "His Highness only thought to offer you your freedom, in
truth."
Azura was puzzled for a bit as her joy almost overtook her common sense, then she
remembered, everything with Vladimir had conditions. This will be no different. "What does he
want?"
Eon smiled like he was proud of her before laying out the prince's terms. "He offers you this
island with everything on it as your permanent home, he will even grant you a divorce and sends
this lovely peace offering." He finished putting papers on the table and a box.
He opened the box and her mouth fell open. "My mother's ashes!" She gasped.
"He is willing to act in good faith, all you have to do is sign the divorce papers."
Azura rushed over and took the pen he offered, resting the machete on the table. Her freedom,
she thought as she looked for a place to put her signature. "How soon can I see Irena?"
"Sign there... the Princess? Your Highness." Eon questioned, and she paused to explain.
"My daughter, when I leave, I want to see her."
"I'm afraid you misunderstood, Your Highness, the young Princess is not part of the
arrangement..."
Azura frowned, she knew she wasn't Mother of the Year but... "He's not going to allow me to see
her?"
"Of course, Your Highness, you can..." Eon quickly corrected.
She relaxed. "Then what's the problem?"
Eon hedged. "Uh...You, Your Highness."
Azura opened her arms in question. "What about me?"
