Reviewers Have Their Say

Fans had the opportunity to ask Dimitri Belikov a few questions of their own...here's what he had to say about them.

Author: So, I rustled up a few questions from your fans for you to answer. Here goes...

Dimitri: [smirks] This should be interesting...

Creativity Incarnate asked: What was your best moment with Rose?

Dimitri: I have so many of those, but if I had to pick one, I'd say the cabin. It's the first time I admitted out loud that I loved her. I guess she made a man out of me that day. So if I had to pick, that one would take the cake.

Creativity Incarnate asked: What were your feelings about Adrian Ivashkov, and how did they change?

Dimitri: I've always held great respect for Adrian, and I still do, which makes me hate myself for treating him like anything less. Hurting him was the last thing I wanted, and that's forever on my conscience. It's affected our friendship immensly. It's hard on Rose too, since she has so much guilt over the whole situation. I just hope we can all move past this, but I guess only time will tell.

Creativity Incarnate asked: Do you think of yourself as a cowboy?

Dimitri: [laughs] No, but sometimes, I wish I was... I remember as a kid, I used to love playing cowboys and indians with my sisters dolls. I was the cowboy and the dolls were my indians, killing them off one by one. It was kind of mean, but it was a small victory on my part for having to endure mindless weddings with the likes of my sisters marrying me off to Mr. Bear and every doll that was available at the time. [chuckles]

Creativity Incarnate asked: What is it like to guard King Christian?

Dimitri: To be honest, it's one of the easiest jobs I've ever had in my whole experience of being a guardian. The boy doesn't go anywhere! He's like a bear that goes away in the winter to hybernate in a cave. In his case, he hybernates in Her Majestys chambers. [chuckles] But I've had the pleasure to serve him for the past couple of months and it's great to have the opportunity to protect someone as worthy as Lord Christian. On the upside, I get to see Rose almost everyday. Win win for everybody.

i-luv-ben-barnes asked: If you had to choose between Ben Barnes or Andrei Andrei to play you in the movie who would it be?

Dimitri: [chuckles] There's no way to avoid this question without getting my head bitten off is there...but, if I had to pick, I'd say Andrei Andrei is kind of similar to me as far as appearances go. It's kind of strange just to think about that because I don't think I look like anybody. As for Ben Barnes, I think he's a good actor as far as I know, and he'll do a good job. Although, according to my little sister Viktoria, he's and I quote "Sexy Prince Caspian of Narnia" or something or rather...I have no clue on what that means, and I don't think she'll approve of having him play the part as her brother, considering she has hearts around all his posters on the walls in her room. [chuckles] she's also going to kill me once she reads this.

shadowhawk23 asked: Do you think Adrian will show up in the next book? And how would you feel about him with your sister, Vika?

Dimitri: To my knowledge, Adrian would be in the next book for sure. As for him possibly dating my sister Viktoria...? I'm not sure I'll be estatic about it, but I think Adrian is a respectable man, and if he's able to make her happy then I trust he will treat her like she deserves. Also, I think as an older brother, its my duty to make sure he does. [grins wryly]

Author: There's also some fans asking for more Rose questions. Tell us about her, and how your relationship has changed since earlier on in the series?

Dimitri: Life with Rose is really good right now. After our many trials and tribulations, life has finally given us a break...I'm as happy as I can ever be with her, and I seem to fall in love with her as everyday progresses. Our relationship is stronger than ever, I mean we have our ups and downs as couples do, but we work through them. It may not be the most perfect life considering our hectic work schedule...but she's my definition of perfect, and that's what matters.

Author: Well, I'd just like to say thankyou very much for the time you have spend with us Dimitri Belikov, and I wish you and Rose the happiness you deserve, also thank you to the reviewers for the amazing questions.

Dimitri: Thank you, also on behalf of Roza and I, we would like to thank the fans too for their continued support, and your questions. YA lyublyu otzyvy; which roughly translates to 'I love the reviewers'.

Author: ALSO, Stay tuned for the next interview with our favorite playboy ADRIAN IVASHKOV...leave some questions for him in a review! :D
