‘Kael’s Point of View’I stood before a dark wooden door after finding out where Mira lived.“Mira!” I exclaimed. No answer.“Mir—“ The door opened before I finished the second call. “What brings you here, Prince Kael?” Mira stood in front of me, looking quite excited.“Are you okay? I learnt that your husband managed to escape and is on the run.”A glint of sadness flashed through her eyes. “I hope he gets caught but I won't let that bring me down. Not anymore.”“Good. And you don’t have to worry, I’ll sort it out.”I tried peering past her, into the house, but I couldn’t see anything.“Have you seen Evadne recently?” I asked.“Yes, she’s with me, but…”“But what?!” Tension suddenly consumed me.“She’s quite ill and I don’t know what to do. Do you mind coming in to check?”Sick?!She didn’t need to say it twice. She cleared the way for me to enter.As soon as I stepped inside, the door behind me slammed shut.Two figures stepped into my view.“Who are these?”My breath caught whe

‘Evadne’s Point of View’The morning sun pierced through my eyelids making them pry open.I stretched my arms as I sat up, my eyes still struggling to adjust to the light. I squeezed them shut, and when I opened them again, a wave of embarrassment washed over me.“Good morning,” Kael said.He had freshened up. He stood there, adjusting his cloak which draped over his royal blue tunic that hugged him just right. The bandage on his head had been replaced with a plaster, and his hair was tied back in a clean bun. A faint scent of cedar wood lingered in the air.His eyes scanned me from head to toe. “You need to...”My eyes instinctively travelled down to my bloodied, torn dress, my disheveled hair, and the bandage on my thigh. I rubbed the back of my neck as last night's events played over in my head. I had even moved beds because I stained the other one.Could the ground just swallow me.I stood up, forgetting that I couldn’t walk properly. I staggered but managed to regain my balan

‘Kael’s Point of View’Everyone else stepped out of the dungeon, leaving the family of four behind.I noticed Lucien’s gaze fixed on Evadne and from the way her lips pursed, I could tell she’d noticed it too.“What is your name?” he suddenly asked, making her towards him.“Evadne,” she replied, keeping her voice firm.“How did you end up here? How are you connected with all this?”“I…”“They attacked the clinic while I was being treated there. Somehow, we were overpowered,” I interjected.It was only right that I answered for her. How else would she explain everything?You risked yourself to save a mere healer?Who is she?Those would be the first questions my brother would ask, and I’d rather not entertain them.“Treated for what?” Lucien asked.“My wound started acting up again,” I lied through my teeth, patting my lower chest.Lucien’s eyes lingered on me as though he was trying to determine whether I was telling the truth. I held his gaze keeping my expression unreadable, until he

‘Kael’s Point of View’Carriages.I watched from my window as dozens of them rolled into the palace ground in the morning sun.I could hear the shuffles of servants making preparations outside my chamber, mingled with the soft chatter and laughter of nobles exchanging greetings in the corridors.Today was going to be a long day.I turned away from the window, intending to freshen up, but my gaze fell on the wound beneath my chest. My fingers brushed against the stitches, as I found myself recalling the feel of her warm fingers tracing them the previous evening.I could still remember the slight hitch in my breathing and the way she’d looked at me afterwards.God, that woman.How are you trying to keep me alive but also being the death of me?I shook my head, a faint smile settling on my lips before making my way to the bath area.By the time I stepped out of my chamber, the palace corridors were even busier. I exchanged pleasantries with everyone I saw, both familiar and new.I stopp
