CHAPTER

SIXTEEN

I let my head drop on top of one of the closed books with a thunk. “I don’t even remember what I’m supposed to be looking for at this point.”

Wood creeks as someone shifts in their chair and I look up. I rest my chin on top of the book and look around the massive library we’ve been in for what seems like days. Eryn is engrossed in what she’s reading and so is Axel. Doyle went to look for a book in this maze of a library and Kirin just smiles back at me.

“The crown, Ev. We’re looking for the crown and a way to get you reinstated into MECA.” Kirin rolls his eyes.

I fling a pen at him. “I was being sarcastic, asshole. I know the crown and MECA.” I brush my hair out of my face and huff a breath. “Is it lunch time yet?” I look to Eryn who only levels me with a stern stare. I pout.

“We just ate breakfast.” Eryn says. “Keep reading. We won’t be able to figure out a way to prove to MECA that you didn’t sell trade secrets to the goblins unless we read and find a way.”

I lean back in my chair and balance it on two legs. “So, we thinking a magic spell here? A truth potion? Only this time without a block on it? What? What can we do here to prove my innocence with MECA? We need to be out after Freddy boy to get him to spill the truth. That’s what we need to be doing.”

Eryn ignores me and goes back to her reading. “What do you say, Axel? Want to go on a little bit of a hunt? Go see what you can stir up about Head Guard Frederick?” I wiggle my brows.

Axel’s lips form a deadly smile. “It would be my pleasure.”

“Take Doyle with you. Check out the house while you’re at it if you’re going to be in the area. Check for anything new.”

Axel whistles to Doyle and lets him know what’s going on before they both depart. Lucky bastards. I want to go on a mission. I look down the table to Dare, Dax, and Dagan. Dare is watching me as I balance precariously in my chair. I stick my tongue out at him and he raises a brow. Dax and Dagan are flipping through dusty old texts with scowls marring their faces.

I look away before I start something with Dare that I can’t follow through with right now. “Kirin, did you find Arela?”

Kirin looks up from the scroll in front of him and shakes his head. “No. She’s still with the queen from what I’m told.”

I frown. “So you didn’t have eyes on her?” My stomach knots and a sense of foreboding creeps up my neck.

“No. I can’t get near her since I’m not royal. Why?”

I drop down on to all four legs of my chair and stand up. I march over to the three goblins sitting at the other end of the table.
