"Cassian!" Aurora cried out, her voice drenched in wounded emotion. "I've done nothing to betray you!"
Well, no one could prove otherwise. Only she knew exactly what she'd done behind closed doors.
I tilted my head slightly, ears perked. If they were going to air their dirty laundry, I might as well get all the details.
"But you…" Aurora's voice trembled, heavy with pain. "You're the one who betrayed me."
"I didn't—" Cassian began, but she cut him off with brutal precision.
"You slept with the Princess, didn't you?"
"Aurora…" Cassian's voice dropped into a soft, pleading whisper. "If I hadn't… you would've been killed."
Hmm. Suddenly I felt like the villain here. Oh right, I am the villain. No offense taken.
"I would've rather died," Aurora replied, her voice cracking under the strain. "Better than watching you fall into someone else's arms…"
