CHAPTER SIXTEEN

THE NOBLE

“Sammie,” announced the doctor.

Kira glared, watching the tiny woman pop up from her seat and hook her arm around King Olivar. When they left, Kira turned back to brushing Hailey’s hair and leaned in. “You don’t ever go with him, do you?”

Hailey shook her head. “Nope!”

Kira exhaled, finding relief that there was some humanity in the king.

“At least for now. Hailey is insurance,” informed Eryn, sitting beside them.

“Insurance? For what?”

Eryn spun her finger around. “This. Her father is Lieutenant Thomas. He makes sure things run smoothly and the king is provided with…prospects.” She gestured toward Kira. “Once one of us successfully grants him an heir, Hailey will be let go. If not before her first red day… Well…”

Kira’s mouth opened in disgust. So much for humanity. She shook her head. “So, if Prince Briar is Captain of the Guard and Olivar’s nephew, he must know what’s going on, too.”

Eryn shrugged. “Likely, considering the family he’s from.”

The door opened again and the doctor entered. “Kira Harlow.”

Kira paled and locked eyes with Eryn. The woman just stared, offering no hope as she turned away. Clanging footsteps approached as two knights flanked Kira. She leapt up and tried to jab the brush’s handle into an open grove of their armor. Her face flared in pain as one knight struck her across the jaw. She fell limp in the arms of the other.
