Puck Me, One More Time Chapter 194 — A day without the crown.
King Ken's POV.I got to Jenny's office and knocked on her office door… that was 7AM.She looked up from her desk with the expression she wore when she was already 3 hours into her day and was not surprised to see me but was waiting to find out what I needed."I need you to clear tomorrow," I said.She looked at me. "Clear it entirely?""No engagements," I said. "No council. No press. No schedule whatsoever."She held her pen over the page for a moment. "For the full day?""Yeah, for the full day." I confirmed.She wrote something in the margin of the schedule in front of her … not on the schedule itself, in the margin, which was Jenny's way of noting something she was going to handle without it becoming part of the official record. Then she looked up at me."Anything else?" she said."No," I said. "That is everything."She nodded once and looked back at her work, which was Jenny's way of telling me the conversation was concluded and she had what she needed.I had not explained furthe
Puck Me, One More Time Chapter 193 — Rhoda's sentence.
Liam's POVThe sentence was read at 11 in the morning.‘Community service … 200 hours, to be completed within 18 months. A permanent ban from palace employment and any royal household affiliated positions. A formal caution on her record. No prison time, in recognition of her full and immediate cooperation with the investigation and her willingness to testify against Uncle Jones without requiring compulsion.’The judge delivered it in the same flat, unhurried voice that courtrooms used for everything, and Rhoda stood and received it with her hands clasped in front of her and her eyes looking at the floor.I was in the gallery.Ken had offered to come. Although I had told him this was something I needed to attend on my own, which he had accepted without argument … we had both gotten better at accepting those boundaries without making them into something they were not.I watched Rhoda from the gallery as the sentence was confirmed and the formal proceedings closed, and I sat with whateve
Puck Me, One More Time Chapter 192 — Eric's unexpected choice.
Liam's POVThe message came through on a number I did not have saved.‘It's Eric. I know you have no reason to agree to this. But I would like to talk. Somewhere neutral. Not the palace and not the school. Just a conversation. You can say no.’I read it twice.Then I put the phone face down on the table and sat with it for a few minutes, which was something I had gotten better at over the last several months … sitting with things before responding to them rather than acting on the first instinct that arrived.The first instinct was to say no.The second instinct was to wonder what he actually had to say.I picked the phone back up.‘Name the place,’ I typed.*****He chose a small café on the east side of the city … the kind of place that had no particular connection to either of our worlds, which was probably the point. Ordinary tables, ordinary noise and I could bet that nobody would recognise either of us or care if they did.I got there first.He arrived 7 minutes later, which tol
Puck Me, One More Time Chapter 191 — Uncle Jones faces the court.
Uncle Jones's POVThe courtroom was larger than I had expected.I had been in many formal rooms in my life … council chambers, palace halls, negotiating rooms in foreign ministries — and I had learned to read a room by its architecture before anyone in it said a single word. This one was designed to communicate that the institution it housed was permanent and the people who passed through it were temporary.High ceilings. Solid wood. And the specific gravity of a space that had been doing this work for generations and intended to continue.I sat at the defendant's table and looked at the room without expression.My lawyer … a careful, experienced man named Quartey who had handled cases considerably more complicated than this one — sat beside me with his files arranged in the specific order that people arranged files when they had a plan they believed in.Although, I was less certain about the plan than he was.The charges were read by the court clerk in the flat, unhurried voice that
Puck Me, One More Time Chapter 190 — The Vote.
King Ken's POVAlex looked at me for a long moment before he spoke.The room was completely still … the kind of stillness that arrived when twelve people had all arrived at the same understanding simultaneously, which was that whatever came out of the eldest council member's mouth next was going to be the thing that settled this.He had served on this council for about 31 years. He had been present at my father's coronation like I heard. He had been present at the coronation before that. He was the institutional memory of this body in a way that nobody else at this table was, and when he spoke in formal sessions, people listened with a quality of attention that they did not give to anyone else.He unfolded his hands."I have served three kings in my lifetime," he said. His voice was the measured, unhurried one he always used … not performing gravity as it was simply carrying it. "The first was a man of extraordinary discipline who built the foundations of modern Bahamas and who I came
Puck Me, One More Time Chapter 189 — The council's final decision.
King Ken's POVLiam was standing by the connecting door when I finished getting ready, and the expression on his face said he already knew what I was going to say before I said it."I am coming with you," he said."No," I said."Ken…""Liam." I turned to face him properly. "The last time I attended that session, two members used the question of you specifically … who you are, where you come from, what our relationship represents — as the foundation of their argument against my reign." I held his eyes. "If you walk into that room with me today, I will hand them the same argument again. Everything becomes about you and me rather than about the law, the constitution and whether my coronation was valid." I paused. "I need this to be about me. Just me."He looked at me for a moment."I do not like it," he said."I know," I said. "Wait for me here."He held my gaze for one more second. Then he stepped back from the door."Do not let them take anything from you in there," he said."I have no
