My Love From Another World Chapter 21
Dorian stepped into the antechamber and shut the door behind him with two fingers, the way a man closes a book he has already finished reading.“Don’t,” he said, as Lucian’s hand dropped to his sword. “You will only embarrass yourself, brother, and I have had a very long night.”“How long were you listening?”“Long enough to learn three delightful things.” He ticked them off on his fingers. “That our guest is the last of the Solis bloodline. That her touch wakes memories no one should have. And that you, the great and unbending Crown Prince, have been struck by the one thing your laws say cannot happen.” His smile widened. “I cannot remember when I last enjoyed a night so much.”I found my voice. “What do you want?”“Ah. Straight to the heart. I like her.” He leaned against the wall, entirely unhurried. “Do you understand what you are, Miss Voss? There are lords on the Council who have never accepted the Crescent Pack’s right to rule. Hand them proof of the old blood, and they will st

We ran. It was not dignified, a prince dragging a chained woman down a spiral stair with the Judgment bell still shuddering through the stone around us, but neither of us stopped. We passed torch after torch, our footsteps striking the narrow stairs, until the air thickened and began to taste of something sweet and wrong.The Judgment Ring lay beneath the Citadel like a hole in the world, a circle of black stone sunk below a vaulted roof and surrounded by tiers where the Council sat in their dark robes. At its heart stood a brazier of hammered iron, and from it pale smoke was already rising, slow and unhurried and patient. It smelled of flowers left too long in a sickroom."Your Highness." Elder Vane stood at the rim with his hands folded, wearing the expression of a man who had been waiting for this moment. "We waited as long as we dared. The Council feared the evidence would burn before dawn.""Dawn is five hours away," Lucian replied. His voice was quiet, but something dangerous mo

"A royal signet," Seraphina said softly, and the fan in her hand stopped moving. "How careless of someone."For a breath the corridor held nothing but torchlight and the thin echo of the second bell. Then her smile came back, slow and exact, as though she had stooped and picked it up off the floor."The Council will want to hear that.""They will hear it from me," Lucian said."They will hear it from the boy." She turned towards her guards, then paused. "Elder Vane asked me to pass on a message, since you are so very difficult to find, darling. The Trial of Truth begins at dawn, and the Accord names the Crown Prince to light the resin." Her eyes slid from him to me. "I do hope you'll sleep. You'll need steady hands."She swept away, the Council guards closing behind her like a curtain, and the torch guttered in the cold she left."Cassian," Lucian said, without turning his head. "Find the boy. Keep him out of Council hands.""And her?""She stays with me."He hauled me up the back sta

I worked by candlelight, listening to my pulse.Tissue first, thin as breath, pressed flat over the groove where the name had been. Then charcoal, rubbed sideways in slow, even strokes, the way I’d lifted a hundred faded treaties in a drafty storeroom in Corwin.Lucian stood at my shoulder, silent for twenty minutes. I could feel him not speaking.“You’re hovering.”“I’m watching.”“You’re breathing on my charcoal.”He stepped back. Cassian watched from the stair.The first stroke emerged, tall and slanted. A second looped closed; a third began to climb.“Elena,” Lucian said quietly. “What do you see?”“Not a D.” I kept rubbing. “A tall stroke, then a curve. In old court script it could be an S. Or a V.”“Could be.”“Is that a complaint?”“It’s an observation.”Turning the leaf, I noticed thicker stitching along the binding. A folded sliver of vellum had been sewn behind the replaced pages.I slid it free, shielding it from Lucian.The same stamp marked the corner: three small bars cr

By dawn, Cassian’s men had carried the three attackers to the cold cellars, sent Dorrin to the healers with a story about bad wine, and reported what waited in the King’s study: two guards dead beside the open floorboards, a third missing, and my translation notes burned to ash in the grate.One attacker had died during the fight. The other two had been captured, but poison hidden beneath their tongues had killed them before they could be questioned. The search had yielded a forged passage survey bearing Sergeant Harl’s signature and a metal token from the royal vault. The vault keeper’s register remained with the Council; the Archive held an older master record.They moved me to the east tower, where one narrow window looked down on a drop nobody would survive and two of Cassian’s men stood outside the door.A better cage than the cell. I hated it more.I counted what I had lost: my notes, my father’s whistle in Cassian’s possession, and whatever my mother had hidden beneath that flo

"No one," I said. "Nobody was there but you and me."Lucian's gaze stayed on me. "Then explain how a stranger with a fistful of ash knows what you saw.""Ask him. I was busy being strangled."For several seconds, neither of us moved. Behind us, smoke curled around the edges of the iron plate covering the passage. The fire we had escaped hadn't died. Its smoke was finding every gap in the metal.Cassian turned toward it, coughing. "We can't stay here."He crossed to the cell door and called into the corridor."Dorrin!"No answer. The guard should have been standing outside my cell. Cassian tried the lock, and the door swung open onto a corridor stripped of torchlight.Dorrin lay against the wall, eyes half open, breathing shallowly, a golden smear beneath his nose. Cassian crouched, touched it, and smelled his fingers."Honey wine. Drugged.""Burnt honey," I whispered. The scent from the cloth on my cot.Lucian drew his sword. "Stay behind us."Footsteps rang on the stairs. Three cloak
