Chapter 30 Turnabout Is Fair Play

• Eliza's self-destructive reverie was broken by her grandmother's voice.
• "Mayor Goodwin," the Grand Matriarch spoke up. "Eliza brought up a good point. I won't let you sway her with your words. You were trying to smooth over the true situation by putting your best data forward, while Eliza wants the truth. Hence-"
• "The truth?" the Mayor interrupted. "How sure are we that she wants the truth? Could she just want what Viktor wants? Or Lucas? After all, we can't be sure about how their relationship will play out...if she mates with one of them, she may not remain neutral in their conflict. She may end up taking sides, which would put her at odds with our continued peace."
