Luka picked Livia up by her shoulders and threw her into the chair. Mirko came with a stone face and poured a bucket of ice-cold water over her head to wake her up. Adrik watched from the sideline and Viridi wanted to put himself as the interrogator by Demyan pushed him aside.

Livia opened her eyes and in panic looked around herself. She had no clue where she was and how she ended her. She ignored them all till  Demyan stepped closer, grabbed her by the hair, and slapped her hard leaving a red mark on her cheek.
Livia froze and picked up her gaze to Demyan's furious glowing eyes. "Where are you holding her?!" She began laughing like a mad woman. That annoyed all the men in the musty room. Livia inspected her surroundings noticing Adrik in the background standing behind Luka. Who was that?!
Then her sight fell to her dress covered in mud. "What had you done to my pretty attire? You will pay for this!" Mirko took out a dagger and stabbed it into the wood of the table next to her as a warning. It didn't bother her. A mere little human? What is that? It's ridiculous! Demyan laid his hand on her by taking her chin into his palm and squeezing it in front of his face. "ANSWER!"
She tore out of his grab. "Do you still believe she is alive? PATHETIC!" Demyan turned his back to her. "KILL HER!" He didn't want Livia to see tears, which were starting to collect in his eyes. He dipped his face into his palm. Adrik watched everything from the shadows in silence. He was calm because he knew...
Luka changed into a werewolf. Livia was left stunned. "WHAT?! You can't do that?! If the king finds out you will be dead!" She smirked with eyes bulging out, after she realized what she said was basically true.
Demyan still standing at a distance with his back to her... "I don't care... and before it comes to it..." He turned to the boys. "You will be allowed to escape..." Silence filled up the room. Livia's stomach dropped. "YOU CAN'T DO THAT!" Demyan glared her down with his ice-cold grey eyes. "YES I CAN AND I WILL DO THAT!"
Luka snarled at her and licked his teeth. He was readying his razor-sharp claws. He wanted to tear her to pieces, but still keeping her alive long enough, till she bleeds out. He wanted her to suffer as much and long as possible...
Livia panicked. "She... She is still ALIVE!" Viridi grabbed her. "WHAT?! WHERE?" Demyan turned his focus on her too. He pushed Viridi to the side once again. Viridi was getting annoyed and laid into him. "This is your fault in the first place. If you wouldn't keep such a snake as your fiance, Petrona wouldn't be in trouble. She trusted you..."
Demyan had enough and punched Viridi's face and he flew into the jail bars. Mirko gasped. Luka didn't care and Adrik's eyes widened. Viridi really tipped Demyan off with what he said. Viridi still kept it up. "No matter how many times you punch me, it's the truth." Demyan flinched and glared at him with a side-eye.
That little fight between them left time for Livia to think a little. "A goblin fell in love with a stupid human? Don't tell me that the flee bag also loves her?" Luka looked to the side. "She must be quite skillful in bed if you all are so railed up about her..."
Mirko slapped her. "Don't make up things, which are not true..." Demyan nodded for a "thank you". Blood appeared in the corner of her mouth. Livia licked the side of her lower lip. "Let's make a deal."
Demyan came closer with his arms folded. "I don't think you are in the position to make any deals." Livia looked with menace up to Demyan. "If I die, she will die as well, because nobody except ME knows where she is exactly..."
Demyan looked at Adrik. He mentioned he was sensing Petrona in the castle, but it was the vial he was sensing. So Livia was telling the truth. Then Demyan looked at Luka, could he smell her out? Luka shook his head for a no. Demyan fell into deep thinking.
Livia tore him out of it. "How long can she survive without food or water? What do you think? I hadn't been by her already for two days..." Shocked Demyan turned to her, he had no other choice but to bargain with her. "What do you want?"
She smirked because she held them all in her palm. "I suggest a trade... Your life, for hers. I want to become the queen, have all the power and money." Outraged Viridi began to shout. "Take him! Take all! Just tell me where she is! I will take her for good! This useless vampire can marry you, I don't care!"
Demyan snapped and was about to smash Viridi for his audacity. Luka and Mirko grabbed Demyan to keep them separated. Adrik finally got involved. He floated to Viridi and with one hand wave made him fall asleep.
Viridi fell to the ground like a wood log and began to snore. Livia saw it and gasped.
"A DEMON?!" If Adrik stayed away, she wouldn't get any new amo against Demyan. Demyan knew they messed up by revealing Adrik's identity like that.
She started to laugh. "Well, when the King finds out about this... You are all DONE!" Now even she knew Demyan sided with the enemy. She got one more ace in her sleeve with this. "Think good about my offer. If the wedding will go through... I will release her. What do you think?!"

Demyan had no other choice... he had to agree with her.  Demyan traded his life for Petrona's. Livia became even more bold. "And you have to treat me like your lover in the meantime or I will not let her go unharmed." Demyan took a deep breath... He begrudgingly nodded.
