Delaney turned to Ilona with eyes full of fear.
"The castle is on fire," she whispered, "Vincent's there. My husband is in the burning building!"
"No," Ilona shook her head, "No Delaney, Lord Adair is smart. He would have gotten out as soon as he heard about the fire."
Delaney's heart was pounding hard in her chest but at the same time felt like it would simply stop any minute.
"He wouldn't though. If there was anyone else left in the castle he would insist on going back in and helping them. Vincent would never leave anyone behind. Most people aren't good like him. He's probably in there alone!"
Ilona saw her friend's fear and took her hands, "Ian's there too, and the Prince. They'll be alright. None of them will let anything happen to the others. Besides I... I think this might not be an accident."
"W-what are you talking about?" Delaney faltered, "The King's castle is on fire. Of course it as to be an accident."
