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
Puck Me, One More Time Chapter 188 — What queen Helen said.
Queen Helen's POVI asked Ken to give us a moment alone.He looked at me when I said it … the specific look he had developed over the last few weeks, the one that said he was deciding whether to trust the situation before he committed to it. It was a good look though. You know, it was indeed the look of someone who had stopped accepting things at face value and had started requiring more than that.I had helped build that in him, even if the methods had not always been right."Mother," he said carefully, "what are you…""A moment," I said. "Please."He looked at Liam. Liam gave him the small nod that passed between them now in the private language of two people who had built their own shorthand … and Ken stood and left the room.The door closed.Liam was still seated at the table, and he looked at me with the direct, unhurried attention he brought to everything. He did not fill the silence with nervous conversation, which told me something about him that I had been learning in pieces
Puck Me, One More Time Chapter 187 — You saved my life.
King Ken's POVThe palace had been on lockdown for two hours by the time the full picture started assembling itself.I was in my chamber with Liam, Jenny, and Captain Oscar … the four of us around the table that usually held my morning briefing materials, now holding something considerably more serious. The compromised guard had been detained at the venue and had started talking within the first 30 minutes of questioning, which Captain Oscar said was not surprising."He was not a true believer," Captain Oscar said, setting his tablet on the table with the documented timeline open. "He was paid. When it became clear that the operation had failed and that we had him, the calculation changed quickly.""What did he give us?" I asked."Everything," Captain Oscar said. "The Apex agency connection. The recruitment process. The specific instruction to create the gap in Your Majesty's security during the vehicle transfer." He paused. "And the source of the instruction … was a letter received f
Puck Me, One More Time Chapter 186 — The kidnap attempt.
Liam's POVThe public appearance was a ribbon-cutting at the new community health centre on the south side of the city. It was the kind of event that filled 30 minutes on a schedule and produced good photographs and communicated that the new king was present and engaged with ordinary life.Ken had been looking forward to it, which I knew because he had mentioned it twice during breakfast and had seemed genuinely pleased about the kind of event it was rather than showing or performing enthusiasm for my benefit.I had been looking forward to it less.Not because of the event itself. Because of the vehicle transfer.The route from the health centre back to the cars required Ken to move across approximately 15 metres of open ground between the building exit and the motorcade … a gap that existed because the car could not pull directly to the door without blocking the accessible entrance that the health centre used daily. It was a small logistical problem that had been noted in the plannin
Puck Me, One More Time Chapter 185 — I was trying to protect you.
Liam's POVI did not go far.The roof access was two floors up from the east wing … a maintenance door that I had found during my first week in the palace when I had been mapping exit routes out of habit. Let's say, it was the same habit that had kept me safe in places considerably less secure than this one. I pushed through it and stepped out into the evening air and sat down on the flat section near the parapet and looked at the city spread out below.The palace grounds were directly beneath me … the courtyard, the gate where I had seen the familiar face two days ago, the service entrance where the misdirected delivery had arrived. From up here it all looked orderly and still, the way things looked when you had enough distance from them.I sat with the argument.Not replaying it to find where Ken had been wrong … because Ken had not been wrong, and I knew it, although pretending otherwise was not something I was capable of for very long. I sat with it the way I sat with difficult th
