Ashina's POVThe carriage door closed behind me. I barely had time to settle before Draven climbed in after me as the carriage began moving but neither of us spoke.I kept my hands folded in my lap, trying not to feel the folded piece of paper hidden beneath the fabric of my dress.Ella's letter. I could still feel its weight against my skin.The words kept repeating in my head as I stared through the window.The palace disappeared behind us, but the conversation refused to leave.“Kill him.““Take the throne.““Avenge Grandfather.“ My stomach twisted as draven sat opposite me.Usually, his silence didn't bother me but Tonight, it did. I could feel his eyes on me.“You're quiet.” I didn't look at him.“I'm tired.”“That isn't why.” My fingers tightened together as He noticed everything and I hated that or perhaps I hated that I was beginning to like being noticed by him.“I said I'm tired.” Draven studied me for another moment as he leaned back.He couldn’t question me again that some
