Outside Ilium
Kingdom of Candonia
We need to talk. Those four words can make anyone panic. For a person who overthinks, it is like the end of the world. My palms become clammy, heart racing in my chest. I rub my hands over my wrist until they glow red from irritation.
Instantly, thousands of questions start racing through my mind. Was it my father? What did he say? Is it something to do with the scrolls? Is he going to be away longer than he expected? The look in his eyes tells me itâs something serious, and I feel like all the air has been sucked from my lungs. I lead him into our tent, trying to pull myself together, though my breathing and hands are still shaky. It takes me a moment to realize that Thalia is not in the room. I did tell her to find Demir. Hopefully, she is still with him, and they havenât killed each other.
âWhatâs wrong?â I ask. He sighs, gesturing for me to sit on the bed, and there goes my heart. It becomes still in my chest as I take my seat, and I feel lunch trying to crawl back up my throat. I look him up and down, trying to figure out what could be going on in his mind. When he doesnât respond, I say, âYouâre scaring me.â
He frowns, pulling the scrolls out from under his arm and unrolling them for me to see. They are reports from the palace. I have seen many of them before, but I donât recognize these.
âYour father has been keeping secrets from you, lamb,â he says.
âSecrets?â I frown.
He taps the paper with his knuckle. âRead.â
I take the scroll from him, clearing my throat before reading out loud. âReport Eleven. There has been another attempt onââ
I stop when I see my name, reading the rest in silence as I try to digest this information.
