Ravena's POV

Evander's eyes narrowed dangerously. "Time for what, Orren? Speak clearly."

Orren stepped forward, his boots scraping on the ground. He reached into his vest and pulled out a rolled piece of parchment, holding it out with both hands like it might explode. "The rogue army is on the move. They are mobilizing faster than our scouts predicted. The border soldiers drew this before they were forced to retreat. Two of them did not make it back."

“What?” Evander grabbed the parchment and spread it flat on the table, his eyes quickly scanning every mark, line, and symbol.

I moved closer, holding my breath as I looked over his shoulder.

It was a tactical map. Hastily drawn but detailed enough to tell the story. Enemy positions were marked in red, movement patterns indicated by arrows, and supply routes snaking through the terrain like veins.

And they were all pointing south, straight towards us.

"They are not just mobilizing," I whispered, my finger tracing one of the thickest arro

    "Because... because what you are suggesting is wrong," I said, my voice shaking. "She deserves... you are going too far."Alaric leaned back in his chair, a mocking smile playing at his lips. "Am I? Or am I just speaking a truth you did not want to hear?""This isn't about me," I muttered quickly. "This is about her. About what is right.""Is it? Because from where I sit, this seems very much about you."I stared at him, my jaw clenched tight.At that moment, it hit me that he knew.He had known all along.Since the beginning. Since we were children. Since the day I first saw Ravena running through the palace gardens, laughing with her mother.I had been fifteen years old, and she had been nine. And in that second, something inside me had changed.I had made a promise to her mother, Lady Elizabeth, on her deathbed. I had knelt beside her and sworn that when the war ended, I would marry Ravena to protect her

    Evanders POV"Are you seriously asking me that?""Yes," he replied with a smile, his tone casual but his eyes sharp. "You are known for your wisdom, are you not? I am seeking your counsel.""Interesting," I said, forcing a light tone. "But I'm afraid I don't have an answer for you."Alaric watched me for a moment longer before turning away and walking back towards the window with his hands still clasped behind his back."I have been thinking about this for quite some time," he started slowly. "About what is best for the kingdom. About what is best for the Lady Ravena."My chest tightened. "And what conclusion have you reached?"He was silent for a moment. Then he spoke, his voice calm and measured. "I intend to marry her myself."A wave of shock suddenly slammed through me. It was cold, brutal, and devastating.I stared at his back, frozen in place. I couldn't even catch my breath."What?" I managed

    Evander's POVAlaric stared at me, his jaw clenched so tightly I thought it might crack.I approached him slowly, reached out and took the broken glass from his bleeding hand. He let me, though his body remained tense.After setting the shattered pieces aside, I grabbed a clean glass from the sideboard and poured fresh whiskey into it, the amber liquid sparkling in the firelight.Then I placed the glass in his hand, gently wrapping his fingers around it."Drink," I whispered. "And just breathe."For a long moment, he just stood there, his gaze shifting between the glass, me, and the empty space around us.Then, slowly, he raised the glass to his lips and took a few sips.I waited patiently and quietly.Finally, he set the glass down and looked at me. His eyes were still hard, still angry, but they were human again."Feeling better?" I asked."No, but I am in control.""Good," I nodded.

    Evander's POVThe banquet was winding down. People were still laughing and drinking, but the energy had changed. The lively celebration was giving way to something… quieter.As I stood by the head table, watching Ravena leave with the servant, my chest felt tight.I did not like not knowing what they were discussing. But I forced myself to stay calm."Evander."I turned to see my brother standing beside me. His expression was calm, but his eyes were sharp and observant."It looks like mother is quite interested in the young princess," he remarked casually.I nodded slowly. "It certainly seems so.""She has been asking about her," Alaric continued. "About her accomplishments. Her character. Her future."I felt a knot form in my jaw. "Has she, now?”"Yes," he smirked. “I imagine they are having quite the conversation right now."I said nothing. Just stared across the room, my

    Ravena's POVQueen Seraphine leaned forward slightly, her expression gentle but serious. "Marriage, Ravena. It is time to think about marriage."My heart immediately sank and everything inside me went cold."Marriage?""Yes, you are at the perfect age. You have status. You have influence. A strategic marriage could strengthen your position and secure your family's legacy for years to come.”I was taken aback, my thoughts swirling.She wanted me to get married again?"I… uhmm I have no intention of getting married," I whispered, keeping my voice calm despite the storm raging inside me. "Not now. Not anytime soon."Seraphine's expression did not change. She just watched me with those knowing eyes."I understand your hesitation," she said gently. "After what happened with Lucien, it is natural to be cautious. But not all marriages are the same, Ravena. Not all men are like him."“I kn

    Ravena's POVI turned to Evander, expecting to see understanding or maybe even reassurance. But instead, his face had gone completely still. His jaw was tight, and his eyes suddenly hard."What does my mother want?" he asked, his voice sharp enough to startle the servant.The girl stepped back slightly, her eyes wide with fear. "I... I don't know, Your Highness. She only said it was urgent.""And she didn't say why?""No, Your Highness," the servant stammered. "She just asked me to bring Princess Ravena to her."“You should have…”"Evander," I interrupted quietly, reaching out to touch his arm. "It’s fine."He looked at me, his eyes still hard. "You don't know that.""I know that you are scaring the poor girl," I teased, nodding towards the servant who looked like she was about to cry. "There is no need to interrogate her. She is just doing her job."Evander's jaw clenched ti
