Sam felt her heart skip a beat. "Are you serious?" she asked, her voice trembling with a mixture of fear and disbelief.
Daisy looked at Sam with tired eyes, the weight of her own burdens evident. "What would I gain by lying to you?" she replied, her tone blunt but honest.
Daisy studied her intently, as if trying to understand the reason behind Sam's courage—or perhaps recklessness.
Sam bit her lip, considering that possibility. "I have to find Tristan," she said with growing determination. "I can't leave him here, especially after everything that's happened."
Daisy sighed heavily. "If you're truly determined, we have to be careful. The ones who control the castle now aren't to be underestimated. Lucian, Selene, Ethan—they're all dangerous. You need to plan your moves very carefully."
