All Chapters of The Four Princes and The Rejected Luna: Chapter 51 - Chapter 55

To the common people waking up in the cold streets, the sound of the bells meant one thing: the coronation day had finally arrived.Dawn brought a pale, watery sunlight that cut through the thick grey clouds. The air was freezing, so cold that a person’s breath turned into small white clouds in front of their face. But inside the high stone palace, nobody was looking at the cold weather. Everyone was moving quickly, running up and down the long hallways, preparing for the grand event in the Great Hall.Up in the grand dressing room of the east tower, Lord Garrick stood in front of a giant golden mirror. He was dressed in a long, heavy robe made of deep purple velvet, trimmed with thick white winter fur along the collar and sleeves. Around his waist was a broad belt studded with shiny red rubies, and a heavy golden chain hung across his broad chest.Garrick reached out with trembling, eager fingers, touching the smooth purple cloth.

"Kill them all!" Prince Jaxon screamed, his voice echoing off the high stone ceiling of the Great Hall like thunder. "Leave no one standing!

They thought they were trapping three helpless people in the middle of a room.They were dead wrong.Kael did not flinch. He did not step back. His golden eyes lit u

The quiet in the royal sickroom felt heavy and thick. The only sounds were the slow crackle of the fireplace in the corner and the wet, painful gasps of old King Draven trying to pull air into his weak lungs.Jaxon dropped to his knees right beside the bed first. All his pride, all his dark anger, and all his grand talk about taking the crown vanished into thin air. He grabbed his father’s thin, ice-cold hand with both of his shaking hands, pressing his forehead against the heavy grey blanket."Father..." Jaxon choked out, tears bursting from his eyes and soaking into the wool blanket. "Father, I am here! It’s Jaxon! Please open your eyes!"King Draven slowly fluttered his heavy eyelids open. His bright golden eyes were dim now, like fading embers in an old fire, but when he saw his sons standing over him, a soft, trembling breath escaped his chest.Kael knelt down on the other side of the bed, taking his father’s other cold hand. Lucan stood right behind Kael, holding Seraphina’s han
