Miguel

For a moment, I couldn't bring myself to look away from the inscription. The name carved into the stone belonged to someone I had heard about, someone whose story had always been told in hushed voices whenever the older members of the royal court discussed Raguel's rise to power.

Lyra glanced between me and the inscription, her brow furrowing. “Miguel, what is it? Do you recognize the name?”

I swallowed, but my throat felt painfully dry. “I know who he was supposed to be.”

    HabeelaZevran studied the map in the safe house as civilians hurried toward the temporary shelters. With the faction's forces approaching, we needed to evacuate the eastern settlements before the fighting began.“How many civilians are still in the eastern settlements?” I asked.“More than we can move in one trip,” Zevran replied.He pointed to two roads on the map. “We can send the first group through here, but if the faction has already placed scouts along the northern route, they could be killed before they reach the shelters.”“Then we won't use the northern route. There's an old service road behind the warehouses. It leads toward the river and connects to the evacuation point on the other side.”He looked at me. “That road hasn't been used in years.”“Which means the faction may not be watching it.” I leaned over the map and traced the route with my finger. “We can send the families with children and the injured first, then have the stronger adults help the others along the way.

    MiguelFor a moment, I couldn't bring myself to look away from the inscription. The name carved into the stone belonged to someone I had heard about, someone whose story had always been told in hushed voices whenever the older members of the royal court discussed Raguel's rise to power.Lyra glanced between me and the inscription, her brow furrowing. “Miguel, what is it? Do you recognize the name?”I swallowed, but my throat felt painfully dry. “I know who he was supposed to be.”I dragged my gaze away from the carving and looked at her. “He was the son of the forgotten faction's leaders. Their only heir, from what I've heard. He grew up believing he was meant to rule, and then he started challenging Raguel for dominance.”“According to the stories, he believed he was strong enough to defeat Raguel and take control of the kingdom. There was a battle between them, one that supposedly ended with Raguel destroying his forces and defeating him. After that, the heir disappeared.” I paused,

    LyraThe scouts' trail led us away from the palace and into a stretch of land where the trees grew so close together that they blocked most of the afternoon light. I rode at the front of our small team, following the marks the scouts had left behind while trying not to think about Raguel.I couldn't afford to let that fear distract me now. Miguel was missing, and if the faction had taken him, we needed to find out why.One of the scouts raised his hand, signalling for us to stop. Ahead of us, there was an abandoned tower with crumbling walls and a rusted gate. The place looked as though it had been left to decay for decades, but there were fresh footprints in the muddy ground near the entrance, and I could see the faint glow of a torch through one of the narrow windows.“This is where the trail ends,” the scout whispered. “We found signs of movement around the eastern wall, but we haven't seen anyone leave. Also, we heard voices when we approached, but we couldn't get close enough to

    RaguelThe report about Miguel's disappearance arrived shortly after I settled into my study. My beta entered with a serious expression.“Raguel, we've lost contact with your brother. His men say he left without explaining where he was going, and none of them knows his current location.”I stared at her. “When was he last seen?”“Several hours ago. We've checked the places he usually visits, but there's no sign of him. His guards haven't been able to confirm whether he left alone.”I suspected Miguel might have been planning something, but abandoning his men made no sense. With the faction targeting Lyra, I couldn't rule out their involvement.“Have we found any evidence that the faction is involved?” I asked.“Not yet, but we know they've been moving through the palace and contacting people connected to the rebellion. It's possible Miguel discovered something he wasn't supposed to know.”“Send scouts to every location where the faction has been seen,” I ordered. “I want them searchin

    CharlotteI had learned a long time ago that the easiest way to survive around powerful people was to give them what they wanted to hear.The faction expected me to be frightened after my escape, and they certainly expected me to regret turning against them. I decided to use that expectation to my advantage.When I was brought before the representative, I kept my head lowered and my hands clasped in front of me, hiding how tightly my fingers were pressed together.“I've thought about what you said,” I told him. “I understand that I made a mistake by questioning your plans.”He watched me without speaking, and I forced myself not to look away. I couldn't afford to let him see how badly I wanted to get out of that room.“Have you finally understood where your loyalty should lie?” he asked.“Yes,” I replied. “If you still intend to give me a chance, I'll help you deliver Lyra to the chamber.”His expression remained unreadable, but I noticed the slight change in his posture. My sudden ag

    HabeelaI had spent most of the morning reviewing the records Zevran and I had collected, searching for connections between the faction and those helping them access the palace. The more I examined the documents, the more convinced I became that this was an organized operation involving people with considerable influence.Zevran sat across from me, comparing names with his earlier investigation notes. After several minutes of silence, he turned a document toward me and pointed to three names.“These council members are supposed to be neutral,” he said. “They have never publicly supported the royal family, and none of them has been linked to the rebellion. But according to these records, they've been providing the faction with access to the palace.”I leaned closer, examining the dates, delivery records, and secret meetings. One council member had even arranged access to a restricted passage near the eastern armory, where we had discovered evidence of the ritual preparations.“How did
