Dante helped Ophelia to mount the horse and got up behind her. His plans at first were to have an outing with Ophelia, but now he wanted to take her back to the castle.
"I know you heard what she said. I hope you aren't going to avoid me because you think you will kill me. I don't believe you will kill me or that the beast will do it. You mustn't let this come between us," Ophelia requested.
"I won't let it come between us, but I have decided to keep you away from the dungeon when the full moon comes-"
"Dante," Ophelia sighed.
"I find it best that you are out of the castle by the full moon. I'll arrange for guards I can trust to protect you and Theo away from the castle. You will not return until it is safe," Dante decided.
