“Are you out of your Saints damned mind?” Lord Castemont whispered the moment we were out of earshot. Tyrak stood nearby, quietly observing. “Anonymity?”

I narrowed my eyes and tried to think of a response that would be adequately respectful. I chose to keep my mouth shut.

“That wasn't the plan, Cal,” he spat through gritted teeth. “You were supposed to use your position as King to woo the Daughter of Katia. Now what the hell are you going to do?”

I scoffed. “Do you think I’m incapable of seducing a woman as myself?” My voice was louder than I’d anticipated. “Do you think I need a crown to do that?”

“Do not raise your voice at me. I am your Lord.”

“And I will soon be your King.”

It was something beyond fury that flashed in his eyes. Dark. Fearsome. And it was gone as soon as I saw it. The scar on my leg flared with pain as I stared him down, disdain rising within me, same as the day I saw Castemont walk out of the Painted Empress in Inkwell.

Castemont stood taller suddenly, stretching his neck and inhaling deeply, as if to set himself right again. He nodded, straightening his cuffs. “Yes, you will be. Isn’t that right, Tyrak?”

Tyrak’s face betrayed nothing as he gave a terse nod. “Yes, my Lord.”

Castemont faced me again, a forced smile on his face. “I apologize for my temper. I wasn’t expecting you to suggest anonymity. We will work around it.”

And though I was set to be King of Widoras, I had a feeling that the power of the position would never truly be mine.
