My Love From Another World Chapter 22
Lucian called for Cassian only after searching the room twice. He checked the window latch, the narrow gap beneath the bed, and the wardrobe’s dark interior. Nothing had been disturbed. The guards outside swore no one had passed them. Cassian studied the black cloth without touching it. The moment its scent reached him, his expression changed. “You recognise it,” I said. “The smell you described after the abduction.” He looked at Lucian. “The same?” “The same.” “Then whoever left this wanted us to know they reached your rooms.” “Or wanted us to believe they did,” I said. Lucian glanced at me. “You think it was planted?” “I think someone who can enter this room unseen wouldn’t make the simple mistake of leaving evidence behind.” Cassian wrapped the cloth in a clean square of linen. “I’ll question the guards separately. No one leaves this floor until I know who was posted here, and when.” “Don’t turn the whole Citadel upside down,” Lucian said. “That’s what they want. Let the

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
