Hello People of Earth! Ha Ha! I only got three reviews for my last chapter and would really like some more, PLEASE! Anyway here is the next chapter! Don't forget to R&R! xx

My grip on Lissa's hand tightened as the judge began to speak, as did her hand on mine.

"I have seen all the evidence," he began. "And I find the defendant…"

"… not guilty."

I released the breath that I didn't know I was holding, as relief washed over me. I jumped up and pulled Lissa into a hug. She had a massive smile on her face and her emotions were all over the place, in a good way.

As Lissa and I pulled apart from our hug I saw Christian, Adrian and Eddie coming towards us from over her shoulder.

I gave each of them a hug before going back to Lissa for another.

"I can't believe it!" Lissa exclaimed. "I did it! I actually saved my best friend from going to prison!"

Technically I probably would have been executed but I was in too good of a mood to correct her.

"Of course you did! You were amazing. I never would have got off if I didn't have you defending me."

"Well, if it weren't for the Queen's letter I don't think I could have done it."

The mention of her letter made my mood drop just a little.

"Of course you could have, but, I need to talk to you." she looked confused and shocked but followed me to the door. Just before we reached the exit I felt an arm snake around my waist and I turned around in surprise. Before I even knew what was going on the person crashed their lips against mine. The kiss was full of passion and love and knew at once who those lips belonged to.

"I lied. I still love you and I would never give up on you."

I looked into Dimitri's beautiful dark brown eyes and I knew he was telling the truth.

I smiled and he soon realised that I believed him. He gave me a small smile before planting another kiss on my lips.

He let me go and said he would meet with me later. I almost forgot what I was doing before I was interrupted by Dimitri until I saw Lissa standing next to me. I led her towards my room and shut the door securely once we were inside.

"Okay," Lissa said "what's going on?"

I didn't say anything in response but walked over to my bed took out a sheet of paper from underneath my pillow. I handed it to her and her face showed a puzzled expression.

"The Queen wrote me a letter too and some of what is in it concerns you. I think you deserve to know." she seemed hesitant to read it but with some persuasion from me she unfolded it and began to read.

Her face was neutral and calm while she was reading but the bond showed that she was shocked and hurt that her dad would cheat on her mum but also excited that she actually isn't the last Dragomir.

When she finished reading she just sat there in silence for a while, thinking things over and trying to process the information she had just discovered.

After about half an hour she said she was going to have to sleep on it. I didn't push it and let her go.

After she left I decided to go enjoy me newborn freedom and go for a walk around Court. I walked towards the gym (maybe for a particular reason) to get started on my training again.

I was halfway there when I caught a cloud of clove smoke from behind me. I turned around to see Adrian walking a few steps behind me. Seeing him reminded me of when I kissed Dimitri and how much that would have hurt him. We were still supposed to be together.

I bean to speak before he cut me off.

"Adrian I'm so sor…"

"Save it Rose. I know you said that even though he is back we could make this work but we can't, well you can't. I know you still love him and he still loves you and judging by how you kissed him earlier, my guess is you don't really care that we are in a 'so-called' relationship. So I'll make it easy for you, we're over. Now you won't have to feel guilty about being with him."

With that he turned and walked away leaving me standing there, feeling terrible, and watching as he walked out of my life.

How was it? Good? Bad? Somewhere in between? Let me know! REVIEW! :)
