Blythe whispered, her voice trembling.Queen Nera looked up with a gentle smile, her silver-streaked hair coiled in a braid over her shoulder, eyes as fierce and kind as Blythe remembered."You found your way back," Nera said, patting the space beside her.Blythe moved forward, barefoot, and sank. "I... I thought I lost you.""You did," Nera said softly. "But not everything that's lost stays gone."A silence, warm and fragile.Then Blythe spoke again, her voice cracking, "They expect me to lead.

"No one's stepped foot in that part of the grounds in years, my lady. Not since...""I know. That's why I want it restored. Quietly. No overseers. No guards. Just him."Helena hesitated.

    Growing SuspicionVito's POVThe council chamber pulsed with unease.The air was thick with the scent of ink, steel polish, and barely concealed tension.Elder Thorne cleared his throat, his fingers drumming an uneven rhythm on the lacquered wood. "The southern border remains volatile," he said. "Two rogue attacks in the last moon cycle. The patrols are stretched thin."Elder Rowan scoffed. "That's because the western patrols were reassigned to escort Luna Blythe during her private retreats—retreats none of us have been briefed on."

    TENSION IN THE SHADOWSBlythe's POVThe whispers had returned.They drifted like smoke through the corridors, curling beneath doors and slipping through cracks in the walls. She heard them in the pauses of conversations, in the quick, nervous glances of maids, and in the sudden silence when she entered a room."She's not the same since the feast," a voice whispered behind the silk tapestry."She talks to herself, they say." "Since the celebration, she's changed. Colder. Stranger." "
