I take it as a sign of Fate for I need you on this new mission now. No one could get it done better than you, I regret to say.”
“We only live to serve you, your majesty but don’t think that this will get me out of the way.” I stood right up and started walking away without another word.
My heart was pounding in my chest. By now it had to be clear to Arianna about how I really felt about her and I just hoped that it would never get around to my father. He would surely have something to say or be punished for creating such an unruly child. If I could only show her how unruly I could really be, I’d be glad to.

Ryon
No, I can’t but yes, I should. No, she would just have a reason to hate me more but yes, I’d be in worse trouble if they find out I knew and didn’t say anything.
I was in conflict with myself but I had to tell them. I went back to the palace and walked around until I stumbled into someone of importance. I saw the General first. He had just sent Ruby and Jaylyn off probably to find Adele and was now standing alone. It was perfect.
“Ah, Ryon. Didn’t expect to see you back here.” I stood stiff, my face tense. I didn’t want to tell but I did if that made any kind of sense at all. “What happened?” He instantly seemed to know something did and pulled me closer, turning us so we could talk as privately as we could. “Tell me everything. What did you see?”
“They’re here.”
“Just entering the city?”
“No. I saw them in real time at the manor. They were already with the girls.”
“Damn it! We were supposed to get to them first. Why didn’t you come to us?”
“It happened too fast. I saw them outside the northern wall then they just stopped and Adele was laying at the top.”
He lowered his head and sighed, thankfully not angry at me for not getting to him sooner. “And I was right there too. Shit.”
“We wouldn’t have been able to get there in time. What do you want us to do?”
“Find Trever. The plan starts now. Time to see how much longer my daughter’s lie will hold.”
I didn’t even like to think about it but I nodded and parted from the General to find Trever. It wasn’t hard. I made my way through the people cluttering all spaces of the ballroom and spotted him clearly up ahead. “The General says the plan starts now.”
“Now? All right. This is going to happen fast. Head to the manor and sustain them. All I have to do is find Jay and make my scene. She’ll be so worried, they’ll be running back and we can finally deal with this head on.”
“Okay.” I turned to leave the palace but had a slightly different plan in store for the Great Seni Fighters. They’re actions shouldn’t be taken lightly and I would do what I’ve been waiting for. He had to pay for taking Adele from me. If death wasn’t an option, I’d have to execute the next best thing. Let’s see how they like being prisoners.
Chapter 14
Trever
Ryon was quickly out of sight and I was ready to make my scene. My poor sister was not going to find joy in hearing about this but she would nevertheless and I already knew exactly what she would do.
She was easily recognizable by a table of food around Adele, Red and Aleks and I interrupted their conversation about the Queen. “Excuse me. Can I borrow you for a moment?” I took Jay by the arm and pulled her to me like a demand.
“That depends.”
“It’ll only take a second.”
“Go ahead, Jaylyn.” Aleks said, already knowing my intended plans of her. “We’ll be here waiting for you.”
Jay sighed louder this time and walked off with her arm still being held in my grasp. “Would you just please tell me what you want?”
“Shh!” I whispered, acting unusually worried just to make her curious and want to come with me. “Farther away.”
I brought her all the way out of the ballroom to a private area where there was no one around.
