Chapter 141: Talk

LENA I looked at him for a long moment, then I nodded. Kael's eyes moved toward me. “I'll be outside.” He didn't sound happy about it and before leaving, his fingers squeezed mine once. It was brief, but it steadied me. When the door closed behind him, Adrian stepped closer to the bars. “I know you didn't poison Cara.” I almost smiled. “You finally believe me?” His expression tightened. “I found out about the servant.” “So did I.”

Chapter 142: The Council Strikes Back

LENAThe chamber didn't quiet after my last words.If anything, the silence became more dangerous.I could feel the weight of every stare following me as I stood beside Kael, my fingers still wrapped around his. The nobles were whispering among themselves, the guards were watching the Council for instructions, and Cara remained frozen beside Adrian with the physician's testimony hanging over her like a blade.For the first time since I had entered the capital, the room no longer felt like a place where everyone else had decided my fate before I could speak.They were afraid.Not of me.Of what might come next.Varick slowly rose from his seat, his expression carefully composed despite the evidence scattered across the table. “This hearing is not over,” he announced, his voice carrying through the chamber as he gathered what remained of his authority. “The physician's testimony raises questions, but it does not establish that Princess Cara orchestrated the poisoning.”Kael's thumb move

Chapter 143: The betrayal

LENAWe barely made it back to Blackthorn before everything began falling apart.The journey from the capital had been tense from the beginning. Kael barely spoke, and neither did I. The stranger's words followed me the entire way, especially the mention of Moonvale and the night it fell. I could still feel the fragments of memory pressing against the edges of my mind, waiting for something to unlock them completely.By the time Blackthorn's walls appeared through the trees, I was exhausted but Kael wasn't.He rode ahead of me with his shoulders rigid, scanning the road as though he expected an attack at every turn. When we entered the fortress, he immediately summoned Rowan and Darius and ordered the gates sealed. Warriors spread throughout the courtyard while servants hurried inside with news from the capital.Something had changed.Blackthorn no longer felt like a fortress protecting us from the outside world, it felt like a fortress preparing for war.Kael dismounted and turned to

Chapter 144: The fall of Blackthorn

LENAThe eastern forest swallowed the guard before we reached the tree line.Rowan and I followed the trail at a run, with six warriors behind us and the sound of Blackthorn's alarm bells fading into the distance. My lungs burned, but I refused to slow down. Every few seconds, I caught another glimpse of the man's blood on the leaves, a dark trail leading deeper into the forest.He was injured and that meant we were close.“Lena, stay behind me,” Rowan ordered as he pushed through a curtain of branches, his sword already drawn. “We don't know how many people are waiting ahead.”“I know.”“You're not acting like you know.”I glanced at him without slowing. “Kael is lying unconscious because someone inside our fortress poisoned him. I'm not going to stand behind you while you find the person responsible.”Rowan's jaw tightened, but he didn't argue again. The forest grew unnaturally quiet and that was what frightened me most.There should have been wolves somewhere in the distance, birds
