Day 2VioletKylan looked to the side, his eyes locking with Fergus, who had already taken a step back. Then they returned to the king.“If you believe Varius deserves punishment for taking responsibility.” Kylan’s voice carried through the entire room. “Then so do we.”Murmurs spread instantly. Everyone understood what he had just done.My breath caught as I got up and stood with him, not even knowing why. I knew he had probably thought this through, but that didn’t stop me from wanting to pull him back down so he wouldn’t speak any longer.He hadn’t just defended Varius, but had placed himself on the same level as the witches who were casting spells for Baelor. He made it impossible for the king to single them out, and that could be dangerous.The king was the king, but he was the crown prince. Yet he had always been so convinced that the king wouldn’t get rid of him.An exhausted breath escaped from the king’s lips, and he rubbed his temple. This most likely wasn’t part of his plan

VioletEveryone had left the courtroom. The council, the nobles, the guards.It was only us now. The king stood at the top of the stairs, looking down at us with a smirk plastered across his face. I was still hiding behind Kylan, my fingers practically buried in his arm at this point.The king cleared his throat. “You can leave, too, Kylan.”“I’m not going anywhere.”The king huffed through his nose. “Well,” he said, annoyed. “Then I’m afraid we have nothing to discuss.”Nothing to discuss?“Kylan?”I turned and looked up to meet his eyes, my hands flat on his chest. I didn’t want to be alone with that man, not even for a second, but I also wanted to hear whatever nonsense he was about to say.Kylan chuckled. “I’m not leaving, Violet.”“Go,” I whispered.Something changed in his eyes. “Violet…”“Go,” I repeated, smiling at him. “I’ll be quick.”He didn’t like me telling him to leave. I could tell. But I also knew he wouldn’t argue with me. He grabbed my face with both hands, his thumb

KylanKiora led me to the queen’s chambers, and it wasn’t long before the two guards standing in front of the door shot her angry glances. They didn’t look too happy to see us coming.One stepped forward with his hand up.“The queen is not allowed any visitors—”“Open the door.”He hesitated, looking at the other guard, then back at me. “Your Highness…““My patience is wearing thin, and I feel like killing somebody,” I said without a blink. “Unless this door opens in five seconds, it might be either one of you. Maybe both.”The two bowed their heads.“Now open the door!”Kiora aggressively wiped her tears. “Yes, you heard my brother!” she said. “Open it!”I guess we were on the fourth count when the door finally opened. I placed my hand behind Kiora’s back, letting her enter first.The queen sat by the window with a book in her hands, looking way too calm and elegant for someone who had just been accused of adultery and witchcraft.But when she saw Kiora, something cracked.“Kiora…”“

Day 3VioletUnite the kingdom…Gasps and excited whispers spread through the crowd, and people leaned toward each other, trying to guess what it could be. Kayden shoved past the people around him until he had a clear view. Then he looked at Camille and let out a shocked laugh.The disappointment, the disbelief, the betrayal…It was all over his face.The king didn’t say what ceremony. People probably assumed it would be another mistress for him, but we knew better than that.“However,” the king continued, his voice dropping, “before we can celebrate, we must deal with something unfortunate.”He clasped his hands behind his back and began pacing. “Murder accomplices, conspirators, those who have threatened the safety of this kingdom.”He cleared his throat and looked toward the guards. Then he lifted his hand.“What’s happening?” I whispered.The guards moved toward the four. Lian, Sora, Dylan, and Trinity. They were respectful enough not to grab them, and the four looked at each othe

Day 3Violet“Nate Wyrnsbane…he said if anyone interfered, they would be next.”The crowd reacted violently, many throwing offenses at Nate again. I looked at the others to see if they were just as disgusted as I was.Dylan’s lips were parted, Trinity’s brows drew together, and Lian and Sora stood frozen. She was telling lies. Camille was telling lies, and nearly everyone believed her.And the worst thing was that I wasn’t sure how much longer I would be able to hold on. I couldn’t even look at Kylan because I knew he was hurting.I still believed in Kaelis, but time was ticking.For all of this to be over…I just had to open that box.“I wasn’t supposed to be there that day,” Camille said. “But I was fetching some herbs and found myself right in the middle of it.”“Was he on Lunaris at the time?” the king asked.Camille blinked. “I believe so…yes.”She lowered her eyes like she was sad. “I know what such an addiction might do to someone, but it still doesn’t make it right,” she said.
