Chapter 71 — Behind the Door

Elara VeyneI wanted to push past him, make him sit down, put my hands against his skin, and find out what had changed inside his body.Instead, I forced myself to remain where I was.Maybe it really was exhaustion.But the pain I had just seen hadn’t looked like exhaustion.It had looked as though something deep inside him had suddenly tightened.“Go rest,” Kian said.Apparently, the man could barely breathe through his own pain and still find time to decide that I needed sleep.“You too.”A barely perceptible change touched his mouth.Almost a smile.“I’ll try.”We stayed there for another moment before Kian took hold of the door.That was when I finally understood that he truly intended to keep me outside.I stepped back.The door closed between us.I remained staring at it longer than I should have.Then Mireya sighed behind me, and I remembered, somewhat unfortunately, that our little private argument had taken place in front of an audience.When I turned around, Tavian looked ge

Chapter 72 — The Difference Between War and Home

Elara VeyneSleeping didn’t help as much as it should have.When I woke up a few hours later, the first thing that came back to my mind was the image of Kian standing in the doorway, pale, breathing far too slowly for someone who swore he was fine, and stepping back when I tried to touch him.I spent a few seconds staring at the ceiling, irritated with myself.He had asked for space.I had respected it.That should have been enough.Kian was an adult and the Crown Prince, even if he was terrible at making decisions about his own body. If he wanted help, he knew perfectly well where to find me.None of that stopped me from getting up earlier than I needed to and going straight to his chambers.The guard outside the door informed me that Kian wasn’t there.“He was summoned by the King a few hours ago.”Of course.I had somehow managed to forget for a few hours that Kian’s disappearance wasn’t only our problem. The Crown Prince had vanished from the palace for practically an entire day a

Chapter 73 — What He Never Had

Tavian VareshI left before Kian finished giving orders.If I stayed another few minutes, I would probably say something irritating enough to summon my mother from whatever corner of the palace she happened to be occupying just so she could tell me to shut my mouth.The worst part was that Kian wasn’t completely wrong and, somehow, that irritated me more than if he had been.The men had fucked up.Simple as that.No war justified smashing a merchant’s face or destroying whatever happened to be within reach just because the world had once done worse things to you.If I had been there, I would have stopped it.Probably with a punch.Maybe two.What I couldn’t accept was Kian looking at those men for a few minutes and deciding he understood what should be done with them.He didn’t.He had never seen a man wake up biting through his own tongue because someone touched him while he slept.He had never seen soldiers piss blood for days and keep marching because stopping meant dying.He had n

Chapter 74 — For Now

Tavian VareshThat was when I saw Elara.She was standing near one of the side passages, holding a box against her body, with another palace worker beside her. The woman was saying something, but Elara wasn’t looking at her.She was looking at me.Assessing me.I could see it clearly in the way her eyes remained on my face a little too long, as though she was still deciding whether I belonged in the same category as the soldiers who had destroyed that market.The woman beside her moved on. Elara shifted to follow.“Hey.”She stopped slowly.She didn’t like being called back.I could tell before she even turned fully toward me.I walked over to her.“Were you listening?”“You were speaking loudly...”Her answer came out dry, slightly uncomfortable, as though she wanted to make it perfectly clear that she hadn’t deliberately stopped to spy on me.“And?”Her brow furrowed.“And what?”“Still think I’m responsible for what they did?”Her fingers slowly tightened around the box, and her ga

Chapter 75 — Where They Keep the Past

Elara VeyneMy head was too full.That was the conclusion I reached after spending most of the afternoon trying to do one thing at a time and failing miserably at all of them.The man who had tried to kill me was still free.I still didn’t know who had paid for it.Edda’s letter remained tucked away among my things, talking about Caldris, the Church of the First Light, and a girl far too young being taken somewhere I couldn’t get out of my head.Kian had started feeling pain again.And, for some reason he refused to explain, he had also decided that he preferred to feel it alone.Tavian had appeared in the middle of all that.And now half the people who knew too much probably believed I spent my nights in the Crown Prince’s chambers.If I stood still thinking about everything at once, I would probably end up tearing my own hair out.So I did the only thing that seemed even remotely useful.I worked.Not because I had suddenly developed a passion for household chores, but because keepin

Chapter 76 — Before Namarra

Elara VeyneI found out Kian was making a public appearance because two maids nearly knocked me over in the corridor with a box far too large for either of them.I barely moved aside before a third woman hurried past carrying formal clothes over both arms. People had been rushing through the palace all morning, but silk, ceremonial coats, and that many anxious servants usually meant something important.“What happened?”One of the maids slowed.“The King is making an announcement today.”I waited until she realized that had not answered my question.“About the Crown Prince.”My stomach tightened.“Prince Kian?”“He’s appearing in public.”She continued on while I stayed where I was.Kian. The same Kian who had spent the previous night behind a closed door insisting he was fine while refusing to let me inside.Apparently my presence in his room was too dangerous for his recovery, but standing before half of Namarra was perfectly reasonable.Of course.I did not need to ask much to lear

Chapter 77 — The Concubine

Elara VeyneMy eyes went immediately to his hands, shoulders, breathing, jaw. Nothing looked wrong. No stiffness. No uneven weight. No sign of pain.That should have reassured me.Instead, I became more nervous because I knew how much Kian could hide.Everyone else saw a recovered prince.I saw a stubborn patient who had kept me outside his door.Rayan began speaking. He spoke of the war first—recovered territories, stabilized routes, new agreements—then of Tavian and the two years he had spent beside Azhareth’s forces.The crowd responded warmly. Tavian accepted it with that effortless smile.Then Rayan said Kian’s name, and the mood changed.For years, Kian had been almost a story inside his own kingdom: the sick prince, the heir no one saw, a man who was always a few weeks from death depending on who told the tale.Now he stood before them looking healthy enough to make those stories seem absurd.Rayan spoke of his recovery and announced that Kian would gradually resume his respons

Chapter 78 — The Locked Door

Chapter 71 — The Locked DoorElara VeyneNaima’s invitation arrived before I had finished breakfast.Not at the hands of anyone I knew, which was the first thing that bothered me.The woman found me near one of the passages by the kitchens, dressed in those discreet clothes worn by employees attached to foreign entourages. I probably would not even have paid attention if it weren’t for the small symbol embroidered on her sleeve.House Saref.She stopped in front of me with an almost impeccable posture.“Lady Naima requests your presence.”I stared at her for a few seconds.After the previous day’s presentation, perhaps the strangest thing was that Naima had not tried to speak to me yet. She had spent an entire morning sitting only a few inches away while strangers discussed, with impressive enthusiasm, whether she would be Kian’s future wife and whether I officially occupied the position of his mistress.It did not seem like the kind of experience a good night’s sleep would make disap

Chapter 79 — Know Your Place

Elara VeyneI stared at her for a few seconds.Perhaps I should have admired the level of confidence required to plan someone’s expulsion from a house you did not yet live in, after a wedding the groom had already refused.Maybe I should have that kind of self-esteem.“I think you are discussing this with the wrong person.”Her expression barely changed.“Am I?”“I’m not the one who decides who lives in Kian’s house.”“You decide whether you stay there.”Ah…I breathed slowly.That conversation was not really about marriage.It was about making me disappear before it.“Lady Saref, I am a servant. I work for people far above my station and follow the orders I am given. If the prince wants my situation to change, he knows perfectly well where to find me.”It was not the whole truth.But it was true enough.More importantly, it preserved exactly the position Kian had created for me.I belonged to his household.Touching me meant interfering with a decision he had made.Naima knew that.M

Chapter 80 — No One Will Interrupt Us

Elara VeyneEveryone in the room went still.Ah.That would probably go on the list of things I wished I could take back immediately after saying them.Naima did not react, did not shout or do anything for several seconds, processing what I had said.I watched the anger form slowly in her eyes, so controlled that it seemed more dangerous than any explosion.“Know your place, you insolent human.”The word human came out with so much contempt that I finally understood there was no longer any attempt at politeness between us.Her eyes grew colder.“You are nothing more than a toy.”My stomach tightened.“Something new. Foreign. Fragile. Maybe that is exactly what he needs after years of being treated like an invalid. Someone who makes him feel strong.”She continued, taking a step forward.“But he is a wolf,” she continued. “A prince. He needs someone capable of truly standing beside him when this curiosity ends. Someone of his species. Of his level.”I breathed through my nose.I should
