“You’re being remarkably gracious about this.”

I looked at Saryan as we walked side by side through the dark stone corridors of the palace.

His words had definitely been loaded and I could tell that he was stopping himself from making a comment about being pleasantly surprised that my mom’s stubbornness and holier than thou attitude weren’t hereditary traits, that our interactions weren’t fueled with the same difficulties that theirs had been for the most part. Right up until the end when they’d finally made peace between them. That was clearly why he wasn’t speaking to it outright, out of respect to her, and to me and my memory of her.

“Well, it’s the least I can do after assaulting you when you were trying to help me.”

His lip curled. “Ah, yes, I recall a biting slap. The blame there lies solely with Constantine Vale. I don’t hold you responsible for what you were made to do while under his control.” He turned his head. “This cooperation is about more than that regret, however. Or about your wish to perfect this special ability as your loves refer to it.”

I cocked an eyebrow.

“You did not wish to create a divide between my son and I.”

“I didn’t, no. Your relationship is important to him. Those three years you were regrettably estranged hurt him and I know he doesn’t want to repeat that.”

“Neither do I, so I appreciate what you’re doing to prevent that. He was willing to stand against me over your wellbeing. He’s never done anything like that before. Certainly not for another. That’s how much you mean to him. At one point, I was concerned such powerful feelings for you would be detrimental to him. I was wrong. Witnessing his display of power a few days ago, seeing him stepping up and taking on a leadership role without it being merely about duty and birthright, it’s clear knowing you and loving you has brought out the best in him, a strength he’d been holding at bay before. Moreover, in spite of external circumstances, he’s happier than I’ve ever known him to be. The three of you bring that to him and I’m grateful he has that.”

“Wow, that’s… thank you.”

I didn’t really know what to say.

He was putting it all out there, so openly too. Making it clear that he didn’t just approve of my relationship with his son, but that he valued it too, and he supported it.

With everything I’d heard about the King of the Dark Fae, I really hadn’t expected this.

I mean, it had been a big enough deal that he’d compromised with this situation, then even agreed to train me too.

This, though? This was another level.

He chuckled at my reaction, telling me, “You’re modest and willing to learn. It’s a rare trait in one so powerful.”

“Especially one with celestial blood, yes?”

“Yes,” he admitted.

“I ran from this world for a long time, from my own heritage. The nature of it has always overwhelmed me, but your son taught me that fear is a useless emotion, only serving to hold back greatness.
