BREAKING QUIETXENIA’S POVThe council made their first open move on a cold morning.I arrived for the weekly updates only to find my seat gone.Not moved.Not left empty.Gone.A smaller table had been placed to the side, with one chair, a carafe of water, and nothing else. It was not a gesture of inclusion. It was a statement.Cerra did not look at me when I entered.Graythorne’s face was unreadable.I stood there, not moving toward either table.Not giving them the satisfaction.CATTY’S POVThe room was so quiet that I could hear the scrape of a quill from the back row.Xenia did not flinch.She did not sit in the lesser seat.She just stood there, looking at them, until the silence became heavier than the insult itself.Finally, Elder Verin cleared his throat and said, “We do not need this theater. The Luna remains present.”The tension snapped like a thin string.RICO’S POVWhen she walked out of the meeting, I was waiting in the hall.“They are trying to break you,” I said.She

A SLOW STORMXENIA’S POVThe council started moving against my allies first.Not openly.Not yet.It began with delays. Brin’s medical reports were held for “review” before they could reach the villages. Reyna’s passes to certain wings of the palace were suddenly revoked without explanation. Even the guards who favored me were reassigned to distant gates.None of them complained to me.They did not have to. I saw it in their faces.And I felt it too, like a storm cloud gathering just out of sight.CATTY’S POVThe palace has a strange way of pretending everything is normal.You can have an entire war of decisions happening behind closed doors, and yet the dining hall will still be set for supper like nothing has shifted.But I could feel it.The tension was heavy enough to touch.I caught Mira from the healer’s wing whispering to Brin, “They are tightening their hold.”Brin just nodded.“They will fail,” he said softly. “But not without trying.”RICO’S POVI tried to keep her from carr

SHIFTING GROUNDXENIA’S POVThe council chamber felt heavier than usual.I had not been called to attend, but I went anyway. Not to speak, but to watch. To let them feel that I was still present.Elric followed me at a respectful distance, his steps measured and quiet. He did not need to say a word. His presence alone drew attention. Some of the council members glanced at him, their expressions shifting between curiosity and unease.Cerra’s gaze lingered the longest.CATTY’S POVShe walked into the chamber like she had every right to be there, which she did. But after weeks of them trying to erase her presence, even standing in that room felt like defiance.I stayed near the doorway, holding the documents she had asked me to bring. Nothing about the moment was loud, but it did not need to be.The room tilted slightly when she stood there in silence.They felt it.I felt it too.RICO’S POVElric’s return unsettled them.It was not just his history with the Wintergreen line. It was what

THE WEIGHT OF RETURNXENIA’S POVElric followed me through the west courtyard that morning.He did not speak much. He never had. Even when he served as one of my early guards, his strength had been in his silence, in the way he listened before acting.“You are quieter than I remember,” I said finally.“I have learned what words are worth,” he replied.It was not an apology, but it carried the shape of one.CATTY’S POVI did not trust him.Not yet.People do not leave when everything is burning and come back without reason. There is always a reason.But when I watched him fall into step beside her, I saw something in Xenia’s face that I had not seen for weeks. Not relief, exactly. Something steadier. Something that said, You are not alone in this hallway anymore.And maybe that mattered more than my suspicion.RICO’S POVI kept my distance when he was near.Not out of jealousy.Not out of anger.Because I needed to watch him for myself.He was not the same man I remembered. The edges w

THE ONE WHO STAYEDXENIA’S POVI did not expect to see him again.Elric had left during the first collapse, back when the palace was in chaos and loyalty was something you had to buy or threaten into existence. He never said goodbye. Never sent a word after he disappeared into the western ranges.And yet, there he was.Standing at the far end of the hallway, shoulders broader, face older, but eyes exactly the same.For a moment, I did not move. Neither did he.The silence between us felt heavier than any words.RICO’S POVI saw him first.The guards let him through, but I stayed close, ready. Old allies have a way of turning into quiet threats when time and distance get involved.When Xenia turned and saw him, her whole body went still.Not in fear.Not in anger.Something else. Something softer, but not forgiving.I wanted to step in, but I knew I could not. This was not mine to interrupt.CATTY’S POVElric had been one of hers once.Not a friend, exactly, but someone who believed in

ECHOES IN THE HALLXENIA’S POVPeople started looking me in the eye again.That was the first change I noticed.Not just nods in passing. Not the careful glances I’d grown used to.Real eye contact. Held just a second longer than necessary.It said more than words.Not allegiance.Not pity.Just… awareness.The kind that says, I read what you wrote. I remember who you are.They didn’t need to say anything out loud. They were saying it already, in the way they stood still when I walked past instead of stepping aside like I was in the way.And for the first time in weeks, the silence wasn’t heavy.It was respectful.CATTY’S POVShe never brought it up.The letter, I mean.Not once.Didn’t ask who had seen it. Didn’t ask what anyone said.But I could tell she felt it — the weight of it moving quietly behind the walls.How people’s footsteps slowed when they passed her study.How voices dropped when she entered a room.The halls hadn’t gone silent.They’d gone thoughtful.That’s something
