It’s time for the latest chapter review session of Dagger to the Heart. Rafael brings Sazet to a tavern, hoping to hand her over to the House of Vipers if he spots them. However, chaos erupts when a group of ruffians interrupts their plans. Sazet attempts to fend them off, but when they overwhelm her, she finds herself unable to move. Fortunately, the princess’s assassin is there to rescue her from the predicament. Let’s dive into the chapter review of Dagger to the Heart Chapter 9.
Dagger to the Heart Chapter 9: Trouble At The Tavern
Dagger to the Heart Chapter 9 opens with Rafael complimenting Sazet on her brilliant acting skills. He questions whether the marriage proposal bit was a bit too much. The princess, ever sassy, responds playfully, challenging him not to pretend he didn’t enjoy it. In a move that ups the flirtation, Rafael expresses his disappointment that she didn’t dare to seal it with a kiss. He cheekily claims that watching two people kiss is the most uncomfortable thing ever—and he’s willing to sacrifice his lips for the spectacle, should it help them avoid unwanted attention. He warns her that women have fallen for him over far less than just a kiss. Sazet laughs, prompting Rafael to insist she should believe him.
Their banter is interrupted by a waitress arriving with their drinks, and Rafael flirts with her, inciting a blush. He beams at Sazet, only to find her intently focused on the waitress. When the waitress notices Sazet’s gaze, she asks if everything is alright. This leads the princess to excuse herself and flirt with the waitress, causing her to blush again. Rafael is left dumbfounded, remarking on her competitiveness. Sazet explains that having siblings breeds competition. She reveals that she has a younger brother named Adair, who is training to become a high priest. She warns Rafael that he’s fortunate her brothers aren’t in Senzade; if they learned about his assassination attempts, he’d be in deep trouble. Rafael shivers at the thought of the consequences.
Misconduct
As moments pass, Rafael grows optimistic about their meeting. The tavern was the location where he had first encountered the assassin from the House of Vipers. He plans to turn the princess over to him to resolve his mark issue. When Sazet inquires about their presence, he weaves excuses to prolong their stay. But she insists that he return the ring or face her wrath. At that moment, a man approaches, attempting to flirt with the princess, to which she responds with a firm request for him to leave. When he makes lewd remarks instead, her patience snaps, and she knocks him out in an instant.
Rafael watches in awe as the man’s followers rush to defend him, only to find themselves dispatched by the princess one by one. Concerned, Rafael realizes that handing Sazet over to the House of Vipers might not be such a good idea after all. The atmosphere becomes tense as several men manage to immobilize Sazet. With desperation in her eyes, she turns to Rafael, pleading for his protection and emphasizing that he would be in trouble if he failed her. A man steps forward with a knife, intent on killing her, and Sazet closes her eyes in resignation. Dagger to the Heart Chapter 9 closes on a suspenseful note as Rafael rushes forward, declaring that only he gets to kill the woman.
What Happened In Dagger to the Heart So Far?
Dagger to the Heart follows the story of Rafael, an assassin contracted to kill Princess Sazet. However, he soon discovers that assassinating her is far more complicated than he anticipated.
