Just as I was about to give the go-ahead to Nemesis, Ares's eyes flashed to mine with a knowing look.

He leaned in, hot breath hitting my neck.

"Try not to assassinate me until after my speech, princess," He whispered, his other hand patting the cloth on my waist that hid the blade.

Then he pulled away, flashed me a devious smile, and continued his walk toward the stage.
