That wasn’t the part that some jerk chose to transmit onto the MirrorNet later. It was less incriminating, I suppose, than the image of Killian gathering me into his arms and holding me like he had a right to comfort me.

The whole time I sobbed, I kept thinking about how much I wanted Kai, only to be muzzled by the certainty that Kai would be enraged at the core of my pain.

Even I didn’t understand it. How could I expect Kai to? Especially when he despised Lucifer so.

I’d said all this to Killian, who has sat in the courtyard listening to me lamenting. That wasn’t recorded either. All anybody saw was Killian taking me by the hand, and us disappearing through the palace doors.

The MirrorNet absolutely roasted me.

I thought I had felt the brunt of their hatred before, but it was the tip of a very cold iceberg compared to what I got now. Patricia tore her hair out in the Hastings Manor kitchen. Mary was doing damage control in the upstairs living room. I could hear her trying to remain calm as the interviewer interrogated her.

“…no, of course, nothing is going on between Alessia and his highness.”

Patricia rapped her knuckles on the tabletop to catch my attention. “I’m not upset at you,” she said, looking every inch upset at me. “It’s just that it’s very difficult to get vendors on board when they don’t want anything to do with you!”

“How is that Alessia’s fault?” Garnet asked. He deserved a raise. “It’ll be much cheaper to go without those things, anyway.” I took that back.

“Didn’t I just say I’m not blaming Alessia?”

“Tell that to your face,” I said.

Patricia touched her cheek as though she had forgotten she had a face. “I’m sorry. It’s just… have you spoken to Kai?”

“I have tried to.”

“And?”

“I’m still waiting for his return call.”

“Don’t you think you should go and see him?”

“Maybe.”

“What about Lucifer?”

“What about him?”

“Doesn’t this concern him at all?”

I really tried to control my mouth so that it didn’t turn into a pout. “I think he’s got other things occupying him at the moment.”

She let out a long breath. Something upstairs thumped. Patricia and I both jumped a second before the hallway mirror smashed into the floor down here. We ran out to the living room to find Mary gripping the railing. “These people are idiots,” she snarled. I gaped. How was she even strong enough to pick up the mirror?

“What now?” I asked.

Mary’s lips pursed. “They’re just idiots.”

Patricia grabbed my shoulder and turned me around to face her. “Kai. Now.”

I had no choice but to try and teleport to Pendragon Manor. All my muscles tensed any time I got around the Ley dimension now. Of all the places in the dimensions to be corrupted, I never expected it to be this place.

My apprehension was well founded. it seemed. Something caught hold of me before I could materialise on the other side. Magic that was unlike any wards that I had ever felt around the manor before.
