Chapter 7

I watched from the shadows as the different Houses allied with the House of Axl entered the cold hall embedded in the hill. It was opulent. From the ancient armor and weapons to the gowns and suits. There was more gold and jewels in that room than in all the museums and jewelry stores I’d been to in my life combined.

It seemed that each House was seated in some sort of pecking order of importance to the House of Axl, with our most important members entering last. Lord Axl wore the dark armor and carried Revenge. Helena wore a black and red gown adorned with matching jewels. Her long blonde hair was styled up on the top of her head. She sat in the first row beside an armored Presymus and Rhymus, while Mary wore an even more extravagant red gown and tiara.

As before, the room was dimly lit by candles. Their flickering made the light move at angles that sometimes seemed haunting. At least to me. When it was time I made my way down the long aisle that ran between the crowd and up to the platform where Antyne stood waiting.

When I stood before him, he kissed me on both cheeks, then handed me Revenge—a quick demonstration that the sword called to me.

With the crowd appeased, a crown was brought out. The golden circle was adorned with diamonds and large rubies. He placed it on my head carefully then took my hand, turning me to face the crowd.

“Lady Rhysa, heir to the House of Axl.”
