Chapter TWENTY-TWO

As Ari makes her way across the gardens to the southern entrance of the Palace, she stops dead in her tracks.

A blonde woman with purple spectacles stands near the glass double doors, face turned towards the frail man in his floating chair.

Julie Emdur, The Underground Colonel’s media advisor.

She was his niece.

Before Ari could duck and hide, Eli turns his gaze on her and waves her over.

‘My dear Arielle,’ he says, ‘I would like you to meet my niece, Julie Bancroft.’

Ari looks to the blonde woman, realising she had been sold out by the woman she had greeted the first night she arrived at the resistance headquarters. Did the others know she was a traitor? That she was a part of The Founding Family and betrothed to her own uncle?

Smirking at Ari, Julie extends a hand, ‘oh but dearest Eli, we have already met.’

Eli chortles, ‘of course you have, how could I forget. I did send you to the resistance underground to meet these very precious Healers and bring them to me, after all.’

Starting to panic as to the reason Julie was here with a surprise for Eli, Ari hopes that her sister is still underground and safe with the assassins.

‘Tell me of your surprise, dear love,’ Eli asks his niece.

Ari notices Julie suppress a shudder before faking a smile and answering, ‘if we head down to the basement, you will see.’

Clasping his hands together in glee, Eli follows his niece down to the basement, ushering Ari along with them.
