The following few days passed all too slowly for Vaniell, as the council of war convened and everyone seemed neck deep in strategies and paperwork. Messages were sent—to Dunmaren, Sion Dairach, Eddris, and Iria—detailing their plans to march on Garimore and formally requesting aid. He spent hours in various meetings, providing as much insight as he could into the man he’d once called Father, and utilizing his own network of messengers and informants to aid in the formation of their strategies.

But all the while, his mind seemed to keep wandering, to Garimore and to Karreya. She should be close now—close to arriving in the city he’d called home for much of his life, close to the confrontation on which all of their plans hinged. Close to a moment that might threaten her life, or at the very least change it forever.

And as he walked the hallways of the castle, surrounded by former enemies who inexplicably did not hate him, he wished she did not face this moment alone. True, she was accustomed to being alone and would deny needing anyone even if he’d offered to stand beside her. Indeed, if she’d opened the pouch, she’d received that offer and declined it. Or perhaps the enchantment had failed.

But either way, she would soon be confronting her father—not as a long-lost family member, but as a potential enemy, and that was not a moment he would wish on anyone. Let alone someone he cared about.

He wished she was beside him now, scowling and threatening to cut off his fingers.

The thought made him smile as he descended the stone steps towards the castle’s courtyard, turning his face to meet the early summer sun and shivering a little in the cool breeze. After so many months in the warm, gentle climate of Iria, these northern temperatures seemed unnecessarily harsh for summer, and he was looking forward to…

Something caught him by the collar and yanked him backwards just as he reached the bottom of the stairs. He ducked and twisted, but his assailant’s grip was made of iron, and all he could manage was to catch a glimpse of her identity.

Rethwyn. Kyrion’s sister. She’d been stalking him since the day of his arrival, and had at last managed to catch him when no one else was looking. Her teeth were slightly bared in a feral smile as she looked down on him from her superior height, and her eyes glowed with what might have been annoyance, anticipation… or possibly murderous rage.

“Come with me, little prince,” she growled low in her throat, and commenced dragging him after her up the steps and back inside, in the direction of the audience chamber.

He could either walk tamely beside her
