Chapter 12

“Your Majesty, I protest,” he nearly barked at me. “This is completely unseemly.”

“Wow…” I told him in a low angry voice. “I liked you a lot better before you started spouting your opinions,” I informed him, and then glanced at Owen, who was looking very pleased with me indeed. “And unless you want to find yourself murdered in your sleep, I suggest you keep your comments to yourself. My men are not going to appreciate your ideas on this subject,” I told him bluntly. “Especially given that I am as much Elf as I am Dragon, which means I may not necessarily have to follow the rules you observed in your previous Court. Not to mention the fact that my being with them serves to increase my powers.”

He didn’t seem to know what to say about that and mercifully closed his mouth, though it looked like it pained him to do so.

“So when she couldn’t have the King she went after the future Prince and when that didn’t work… she came after me,” I finished his story for him. “And this story is going to have a happy ending. If Owen will assist me?” I offered, and he nodded and held out his hand for me.

“How would you like to do this, Lexi?” he asked calmly.

“I think… I think I’d like to try what I did with Stela, though it just seems wrong to do that to my Grandfather,” I replied and winced when he nodded thoughtfully. And if that does not work, then perhaps you can assist me with what we did before?”

“Actually… you did it,” he informed me. “I merely held your hand and directed the energy.”

I clutched at his arm and stared down at the floor. “Owen sweetie, this is not the time to shock and awe me,” I informed him in a strangled voice while he patted my hand and made tsking noises.

“I am sorry,” he replied and placed his hand over mine, while I sucked air into my lungs and watched the black spots at the edge of my vision disappear.

“Can we just move this along? I’d like to go home. I believe the Council is coming soon and Gareth and Jace need to get back. Who knows what Valentine has been up to while we’ve been gone?”

“Certainly,” Owen replied.

“Owen?” I asked cautiously.

“Yes?”

“Did anyone feel what I did to Stela when I placed my hands on the throne?” I asked softly and he nodded. “Dane and Roa’ both had to be restrained but that was all,” he replied although he frowned then added, “Actually one of Tdem’s guards collapsed to a knee and the other two seemed to stagger but were able to remain upright. I do not think the King noticed, but I was standing behind them and did.”

“Dane and Roa’ are both hybrids and can sense, but not duplicate, my shield though I can speak to them through it.” And my eyes turned to Stela thoughtfully. “Stela also hears me behind my shield,” I remarked calmly then dropped my shield and called for Kit.
