Lotar’s lips parted, and he looked as surprised as she felt.

“What?” But she’d been practicing her arguments since the last echo point. “Why not?”

“The king refuses entry to a human. Only a fool travels the open ocean with a bride.”

Lotar growled softly. “She is a mer queen.”

A little shock went through Hazel’s veins. A little zip of excitement.

That’s right. She was a queen. Her powers weren’t much compared to the other queens, but she did have powers, and that was more than she could have said months ago. Right?

The Newas head guard didn’t blink. “She must not use her powers in the city.”

Lotar’s fingers curled around her upper arm. “We cannot part.”

“He’s right,” she said. “I always end up in trouble.”

“She will not come to any harm,” the head guard told Lotar. “My warriors will defend her.”

Lotar glared at them, and his unspoken question nearly deafened her.

Who would defend her from the warriors?

Man, look at how far they’d come. Once, he would have tried to stash her in a quiet spot and do the whole mission himself. These past few…days?…he’d changed completely. From the moment he’d stopped avoiding her at Sanctuary Island, they were a team.

And sometimes being a team meant compromising.

“Hey. It’s okay.” Hazel patted Lotar’s arm and wiggled free of his grasp. Her toes extended into little proto-fins. “We don’t both have to go. You can give the king the message.”

He caught her fingers. “You are also a traveler on the All-Cities Gyre.”

“I know. I’ll use the time to practice my powers. And power ballads. We’re linked, so if anything happens, I’ll call. You trust me, right?”

“I trust.” He pressed her fingers to his chest. “Do not be deceived by kindness. If you are in danger, act.”

“Oh, don’t worry. If I need to mace-Tase someone, I won’t hesitate.”

He released her and faced the warriors. “If she is hurt, I will kill every warrior in this city before you raise a single alarm. Do you understand?”

The warriors straightened, rigid.

The leader sneered. “I thought Syrenka warriors did not waste so many words.”

Lotar stared him down. The implication was that he had wasted no words. This was a final warning.

What a sweetheart.

Deadly and loving, like a shark.

The head guard swallowed and ordered half his unit to block her. The rest surrounded Lotar and led him into the city. He rounded the curve of the nearest castle, swimming toward the glow of the Life Tree inside, and disappeared.
