Chapter 51: The watching pt 2

Serena's POV I pressed myself against the wall and continued to listen to their plans. "Not everyone supports Felipe," the second noble said. "Doña Beatriz and her allies will not stand with him." "They do not need to stand with him," the first noble countered. "They just need to stand aside." The second noble was quiet for a moment, then he looked up. "And what about the human? The king will not let her go," the second noble said. The first noble laughed. "The human is the key, and Felipe will use her to break the king. Once the king is broken, the human will be discarded, because she is nothing more than a tool." I felt my hands curl into fists at my sides when I heard the words "A tool." That was all I was to them, and that was all I had ever been. "Then we move quickly," the second noble said. "Before

Chapter 52: Attack as intimacy

Serena's POV He kissed me hard, too hard, and I saw the monster I had been waiting for. I was sitting at my desk, staring at the list of names I had written, when I heard the footsteps in the hallway. They were heavy, uneven, and not the steady rhythm of the guards. My heart began to pound. I knew that sound, that heavy uneven gait, because I had heard it before on the nights when Alejandro could not sleep, when the weight of the crown pressed down on him so heavily that he would wander the halls until dawn. But this was different, this was heavier, and more urgent, and I knew before he even entered that something terrible had happened. The door burst open, and Alejandro stood there with his golden eyes wild and his chest heaving. His shirt was torn, and there was blood on his hands, blood on his face, and blood on the front of his shirt. It was not his blood. I could see t

Chapter 53: The realization

Serena's POV I let out a slow breath, trying to calm my raging nerves."You stopped," I said softly."I did not want to stop," Alejandro said. "I wanted to keep going. I wanted to… ""But you stopped," I said. "That is what matters."Alejandro's eyes were filling with tears, and his jaw was shaking. "I am sorry," he said again. "I am so sorry."I wrapped my arms around him, and I held him against my chest.His hands were covered in blood, Felipe's blood, I hoped, and I felt it soaking through my shirt as I held him, but I did not care. I did not care about the blood or the mess or the brokenness of the man in my arms, because all I could see was the boy who had been forced to become a king too young, and the man who had been carrying the weight of a kingdom on his shoulders for years without anyone to hold him up.I did not know if he had killed him, and I did not ask. I did not care if Felipe was dea

Chapter 54: The shame

Serena's POV I woke up alone the morning after Alejandro had held me in the corner of my room. The space beside me was cold, and the blankets were undisturbed, and I knew before I opened my eyes that he was gone.I sat up slowly, and I looked around the room. The fire had burned low, and the shadows were long, and the only sound was the wind howling outside the window.Then I saw the note.It was on the table beside the bed, folded in half, and his handwriting was messy, and almost illegible, like he had written it in a hurry. I reached for it, and my fingers were shaking, and I unfolded it slowly.In the paper, there was one word. "Sorry."I read it once, then again. Then a third time, trying to find the hidden meaning, the secret message, and the explanation that he had not been able to give me in person.But there was nothing. Just ink on paper, and just a word that could have meant anything or nothing.I touched the bruises on my shoulders where his hands had gripped me. They di

Chapter 55: Proof 1

Serena's POVThe night Alejandro came back to me, we did not talk much more.He stayed in my room, and I held him until his shaking stopped, and neither of us mentioned the week of silence that had passed between us. In the morning, he was still there, and I knew that he was not going to hide anymore.But the castle did not stop turning just because we had found our way back to each other. The whispers in the corridors did not stop, the nobles did not stop plotting, and Felipe did not stop moving pieces on a board that I was only beginning to understand.I had learned a lot in that week of silence. I had learned to trust my instincts, I had learned to see what others were trying to hide, and I had learned that Alejandro was not the only one who needed to fight for his crown.I had been watching, and I had been listening, and I had been learning.And I had finally found what I was looking for.I had been watching for weeks, and I had learned to trust the patterns of the servants who mo

Chapter 56: Proof 2

Serena’s POV Alejandro stepped aside, and I walked into his chambers. The room was dark, and the fire had burned low, and the air was cold. The bed was unmade, and there were papers scattered across the desk, and the tray of food on the table was untouched.I wanted to ask why everywhere was the way it is, but this was not the time. That could wait a little bit more.I turned to face him, and I pulled the coin out of my pocket, and I held it out to him."Felipe has been stealing from you," I said. "He has stolen gold, weapons, and food. I believe that he has been preparing for a rebellion for months. Or maybe longer."Alejandro stared at the coin, and his face went cold. His jaw tightened, and his hands curled into fists at his sides, and I could see the fury burning behind his eyes."Where did you find this?" he asked."In the lower levels," I said. "There is a hidden storage room, and it is filled with crates of gold, weapons, and food that are enough to start a war."Alejandro to

Chapter 57: Thank you 1

Serena's POV Alejandro was still holding my notebook, and his golden eyes were still moving across the pages. I watched his face change with every name he read. And I could see the realization dawning slowly across his features. He read them all, one by one, and I could see the weight of what I had done settling into his chest. I could not stand the state of the room any longer. The unmade bed, the papers scattered across the desk, and the untouched tray of food that had been sitting there for days was making me uncomfortable. The fire had burned low, and the air was stale, and the silence felt heavy and suffocating, and I could see the weight of his isolation pressing down on the space. I knew I had to break through it. I had seen him broken before, had seen him exhausted and worn down by the weight of the crown. But this was different. This was not the exhaustion of a kin

Chapter 58: thank you 2

Serena’s POV Alejandro opened his mouth to speak, but I held a finger up, shook my head and turned toward the bathing chamber. "Wait," he said. "Where are you going?" "You will see," I replied, still walking to the bathing chamber. "Stay here." I instructed. I walked into the bathing chamber, and the room was cold and dark, with dust settling on every surface in sight, and the water in the basin had gone stagnant. I found the empty wooden tub against the wall, and I began to fill it with water from the pump, bucket by bucket. My arms were burning with every single lift because it was slow work, but I did not care. My arms ached, and my back burned, but I kept going because he needed this, and I needed to give it to him. By the time I had finished, the water was warm, and steam was rising from the surface, and I was sweating despite the cold,

Chapter 59: Royal noble 1

Serena's POV I sat at my desk the morning after Alejandro and I had cleaned his room, and I stared at my notebook. The pages were filled with names and weaknesses and fears, but there was one name that kept drawing my attention: Doña Beatriz. She had been the first noble to show me kindness. She had knelt before me and thanked me for saving her son. She had told me that Felipe had enemies, and that I was not alone. She had seen something in me when no one else did, and I had not forgotten that. I had not acted on her offer yet. I had been too afraid, too unsure, and too busy surviving. But I was not just surviving anymore. I had spent so long being afraid, so long hiding in the shadows and hoping that no one would notice me. But that time was over. The fear was still there, lurking at the edges of my mind, but it no longer controlled me. I had taken too many steps forward

Chapter 60: Loyal noble 2

Serena’s POV Doña Beatriz looked at me from where I stood, but there was no warmth in her face. "I was wondering when you would come," she said. "I have been watching you, Serena. You are not like the others." "Neither are you," I replied. Her lips curved into something that was not quite a smile. "Flattery will not get you anywhere." "I am not trying to flatter you," I said. "I am trying to tell you the truth." She leaned back in her chair, and her arms crossed over her chest. "Then tell me the truth. Why did you ask me here?" I met her eyes, and I did not look away. "I need your help." "I figured as much." She tilted her head. "What makes you think I will give it?" "Because you hate Felipe," I said. "Because you have been waiting for someone to stand against him, and bec
