It took ten minutes to wait until he was on the stairs next to his father, who seemed to be saying something. “You know what needs to be done, don’t you?” My keen hearing allowed me to hear. I disguised. "Yes I know." He responded without even moving his mouth, just grunting. “Don’t disappoint me, son.” The king said. Then they stopped talking, my instincts told me there was more.

Rune’s eyes wrinkled with a smile, then they were filled with worry when they moved to focus on Rose again. “You will be fine,” he mouthed to her.

He didn't look like a monster anymore; he looked like a twisted reflection of what I could become—a king of absolute zero, a ruler of a world that didn't feel.

’ I murmur without taking my eyes off Thade and Moira as they vanish through the enormous doors and out into the ballroom beyond. ‘You look like you died,’ she breathes it. Rune’s a Knight, she’s sworn to serve the crown and she would never commit treason, not lightly. ‘He killed the King,’ I say the words as softly as I can, who knows what magic runes have been left by the crowds of nobility.
