The Truth Of The Matter (complete)

Chapter 27

I know that I have lost my sister, but knowing that she is out there in the world somewhere. Finally happy and with Dimitri was all that I could ask for, for the both of them.

Oddly enough, Tatiana visibly sighed and relaxed. Or I should say, if you were really paying attention, she visibly sighed and relaxed. I had no idea what was going on there.

"No!!! They are all lying. Lissa ordered us all not to ever discuss it, not to reveal it, not to tell anyone about it!!! She's is still trying to protect that little blood whore."

"Lady Ozera!!! You are not to disparage the character of someone who is not able or alive to defend themselves ever again!!!! Do I make myself perfectly clear?!!!" Our queen all but screamed at Tasha.

Now Tasha sighed, "yes, your majesty."

"We will continue this meeting at another time. I think that we all need to clear our heads. But first, Lady Ozera you are sentenced to thirty days in a cell for lying not only to the council and myself but to the rest of court as well. Add an additional thirty days for disparaging the character of someone who is not able to defend themselves."

Tatiana looked at Hans Croft. "Lock her up please."

He bowed. "Yes, your majesty."

Thank God my shift was over. I took my phone from my pocket and text my girlfriend Mia.

"Get packing. Tasha told the council, the queen, and all of the other royals at court about Rose and Dimitri. So, we need to be out of here as soon as possible. I am going to put in my resignation papers."

"All right, I'll get started packing. Hurry, because I do not want to be here when these people lose their minds."

"I will do my best babe, be there as soon as I can. Call Rose."

"All right, babe."

It took me an hour just to get my resignation papers filled out and filed as well as getting my last paycheck. Then going to the bank cashing it, closing out our checking and savings accounts, and taking all of our money out in cash took yet another hour.

Six hours later, Mia her father Charles and I were exiting the gates of court. We were going to New York and getting the first direct flight that we could, to St. Petersburg Russia. Or as close to there as we could get a direct flight to anyway. After we shipped our belongings, from New York, to the address that my sister Rose had given to my girlfriend Mia when she called.

I could not believe that Tasha had gone against my direct orders yesterday and told almost all of court about Rose and Dimitri. She is just so obsessed with Dimitri, that she will do and say anything that it takes to get him to be with her. To possess him like he is some kind of a fucking sex doll, or a vibrator with legs, or some other shit like that. She makes me fucking sick.

I would have thought that the way that Dimitri had spoken to and treated Tasha, while we were in Paris, would have smartened her up a bit. But apparently it didn't even phase her. But I know, that with Rose being a strigoi now, that she will happily kill Tasha if she gets near Dimitri again. Especially now that there is nothing and no one to stop her from getting her revenge.

Knock... Knock... Knock.

I walked over to my front door. Opening it I was surprised by who was there.

"Yes, can I help you with something guardian?"

"Yes, Princess Dragomir. I am Guardian Stephen Arnold, her royal majesty Queen Tatiana Ivashkov would like to see yourself, Lord Christian Ozera, Guardian Janine Hathaway, and Guardian Eddie Castile."
