"Damn it! How could my plans fail again?!"
At the back of the inn, tucked away from the entire ruckus, was Thalia. She was dressed in simple clothes, helping her blend into the background as she watched the events unfold. She chewed on her thumb, her mind racing. The last thing she expected was for Azul of all people to show up.
Why? Just what is it about that woman that makes all these men go crazy over her?!
Thalia bit down hard on her thumb till she tasted blood.
The plan had been simple. Destroy Princess Orchid's only means of transportation, trap her here and then move. But now everything was ruined.
Thalia watched Ray scoop Anna into the air. She watched as Leon and the soldiers left, and eventually Kai and Azul left too. Only then did she step out and rejoin the mob.
