Mated To The Cruel Prince novel Chapter 300

Chapter 300: Scam Aldric

"No!" The refusal left her lips and Eli’s brows lifted in surprise.

"No?" He cocked a brow at her and sighed, "I thought you were desperate to help Issac, but it doesn’t seem to be enough."

He let go of her chin and pouted, his hand on his chest, "That hurts though. You didn’t even care to know what the deal was about."

No, no, don’t fall for his tricks, Islinda willed herself not to be affected by his sulking. There was just a day left and she would be free finally. Her leaving cannot be hindered by some careless deal made at the last minute. However, Eli was right, she hadn’t even heard the details of the deal before refusing. She wanted to help Issac and yet hadn’t given it a fighting chance.

Islinda groaned inwardly, hoping to the gods that she didn’t regret this in the end. She rolled her eyes, "Fine, tell me the deal."

Suddenly, Eli’s face, which had been looking sullen and disappointed, lit up in his most lively and impish smile that made Islinda shudder. She instinctively recognized a predator with her and a slight distrust ran through her.

"As I told you earlier, Issac’s case is with Aldric and I wouldn’t want to overstep my boundaries, however, I can convince Aldric if you will be so willing to make a deal of equal value." He said, eyes boring into hers.

He licked his lips, a gesture Islinda captured and it sent a thrill through her, but she pretended nothing happened.

Eli continued, "This is the deal. Aldric plans to visit the winter court, you can think of it as his hometown, not that he’s welcomed. Who cares anyway? But here’s the issue, with a current break from the battlefield, he’s supposed to run the affairs of the court as the winter Fae prince, but it seems someone has taken over his role and that is what he intends to find out. So would you be so willing to accompany him to the winter Fae court?"

"Wait a minute," Islinda was trying to understand something here. She pointed to her chest, "You want me to accompany Aldric on a killing spree?" Islinda could not think of Aldric’s other method of "finding out" except through torture and killing.

The fact Eli didn’t even look taken aback by her statement affirmed her thoughts there was a possibility of that happening. He answered, "Don’t worry, it would not come down to that," He added, "Hopefully."

Islinda face-palmed, "This is not happening. I shouldn’t have come here at all." She turned to leave when Eli reached out and grabbed her.

He said sincerely, "If you were with him, there would be less killing."

"That doesn’t make sense. Why would he consider my presence?"

"Because he cares about you?"
