“I know who’s been manipulating the ludrako,” I say to Grace in the privacy of her and Javid’s quarters.

The duchess looks up, surprised. “I thought we had decided it was the gypsy.”

“I think it’s Giselle.”

Grace widens her eyes, obviously not sure how to respond. Carefully, she says, “I understand she isn’t your favorite person—”

“No,” I cut her off, agitated. “That’s not it.”

I pace back and forth, ready to argue my point. “The beast originates from Waldren, right?”

“Audette.”

“And Giselle is from Waldren.”

“Yes, but—”

“And now Kent is next in line for the throne.” I turn to her, sure I’m right. “The beast eliminated the two men directly in front of him—and Giselle orchestrated the whole thing, using that girl from the village. You realize, don’t you, that she’s going to be your next queen!”

Grace places her hands in her lap. “She’s never left the castle—not once.”

“So she has people working for her,” I argue. “That makes more sense anyway. She wouldn’t actually soil her hands.” I stop pacing and turn to her. “And the attack in Constelita! It’s no secret she wants Irving. To have him, she needs me out of the picture.”

“If I remember correctly, Irving was with you that night. Why would she have the beast attack him?”

I shake my head, now more convinced than before. “It’s her.”

Grace wrinkles her brow, obviously thinking about it. “You did say it seemed as if the beast tracked you, didn’t you?”

“Yes,” I answer, relieved she’s finally contemplating it.

Her eyes flick to mine. “Right after you saw Kent with his mistress?”

I tilt my head to the side. “I’m not sure what that has to do with it.”

I’ve lost her. She’s in her own world.

She continues, “And Kent’s been on a hunting trip every time the beast attacked…”

“Are you saying she’s using her husband? They don’t seem to get along well enough to plot together.”

Slowly, the color drains from her face. “Now he’s going to be king, and the attacks have suddenly stopped.”

“Right,” I say slowly. “So it’s Giselle.”

“No.” Grace looks impatient that I’m not following her. “But it may be Kent.”
