MARIETTA Crista had only gotten here today but she already had a couple of enemies. I wasn’t fully sure of how palace life worked but what I learnt from what happened to Crista’s family was that there were schemes and murders… lots of murders. Since Risa was only after power, she might not hesitate to get rid of anyone that she felt was a threat and if she was somewhere around here and seeing how Mercer was holding Crista, she would definitely deem Crista a threat. She would try to get rid of Crista. My eyes quickly went back to where Crista was just as she let the arrow fly and it hit the centre of the target - bullseye. Surprise washed over Mercer and Ragnar’s face and they said something that made a wide smile appear on her face before I surveyed their surroundings. My heart jumped in
