Chapter 42 “You took it.”The old man didn't flinch.“Yes, Your Majesty.”Kael stared at him.“You admit it just like that?”“I have no reason to lie to you now.”Kael crossed the study in three strides, the folded note still clenched in his fist.“I searched that vault believing an enemy had broken in. I suspected everyone with access. I nearly confronted a man who has served this crown for thirty years because you couldn't simply tell me the truth.”“I know.”“That isn't an answer.”The seneschal remained calm.Elara stood near the door, watching them both.Kael lifted the note.“You took my father's ring.”“Yes.”“Why?”“Because you were looking for it.”“That isn't a reason.”“It is when you understand what the ring represents.”Kael's jaw tightened.“Then explain it.”“I couldn't.”“You couldn't?”“Not then.”“Why?”The seneschal finally met his eyes.“Because you weren't ready to understand what it meant.”Kael gave a humorless laugh.“You don't get to decide what I'm ready to

Chapter: 44 The seneschal reached inside his coat.Kael's hand immediately moved toward his weapon."What is that?"The old man slowly withdrew a tarnished metal pin and placed it on the desk.Elara froze.A crescent.A crown.Her eyes narrowed."It's the same symbol.""Similar," the seneschal corrected.Kael leaned closer."The difference?""The one on your father's ring represented the bloodline."He touched the pin."This represented the people who protected it."Elara stared at the small piece of metal."The order."The seneschal nodded."Members once carried these.""Once?" Kael's voice sharpened. "You keep speaking about this order as though it belongs to the past.""I don't know whether it does."Kael's expression darkened."An organization has been protecting a royal bloodline inside my kingdom for generations, and you're telling me you don't know whether it still exists?""I am telling you that secrecy was the reason it survived.""That's not an answer.""It is the only hone

CHAPTER 46 "Read it again." Evelyne unfolded the letter for the fourth time. Her father watched from across the study. "I've already read it." "Then read it again." He sighed. "You won't find anything new." "I know." She looked down at the parchment. "The transition required sacrifices we do not speak of." Her finger moved to the next line. "The old line was dealt with according to necessity." Then the final sentence. "What was buried must remain so, for the good of the throne we now protect." She lowered the letter. "What does that mean?" Her father didn't answer. "Father." "It means exactly what it says." "No." She placed the letter on his desk. "It doesn't. Not when you refuse to explain it." "Evelyne, this is ancient history." "You said that yesterday." "And it remains true." "Then why are you afraid of it?" His eyes sharpened. "I'm not afraid." "You are." She pushed the letter toward him. "You wouldn't even look at it w

Chapter 48 "She should have been removed weeks ago.""And say what to the court? That we dragged a servant from the palace under the King's protection?""I don't care what we say. I care that she's still breathing."Vestrin's fist came down on the table."This ends today. Elara Veyne is a threat to the stability of this kingdom, and every day we delay is another day closer to losing control.""Losing control to whom?" Elder Maris shot back. "The girl? Or the King who's now openly defying us on her behalf?""That's exactly my point.""Then you're proving mine. Attack her now, publicly, and you're not moving against a servant. You're moving against Kael.""Perhaps that's overdue."The room went still."Careful, Vestrin," Corvin said quietly from the head of the table."Why? Because the King has decided his personal feelings outweigh this council's judgment? He rejected her once for good reason, and now he's protecting her like"Vestrin stopped, jaw tightening."Like what?" Maris presse

Chapter 50 "He rejected them."I had barely reached the servants' hall when Mira caught my arm.Her eyes were wide."Rejected who?""The council."My stomach tightened."What about them?""They're furious. Elara, it's everywhere. He sent his formal response last night.""What response?""He rejected the fitness clause."I stared at her."He did what?""They're saying he chose you over his own crown."A steward hurried past us."civil unrest if this continues"Two guards stood farther down the corridor, arguing in low voices."The council can't remove him.""They can challenge him.""They'll fracture the kingdom."I looked toward the courtyard.Nobles were gathering in groups. Papers changed hands. Voices rose and fell."They know," I whispered.Mira nodded."About the poisoning. About the council calling you a threat. About Kael refusing to abandon you.""And what are they saying?""Half the palace thinks you're dangerous.""And the other half?""Thinks the council has finally gone t
