CHAPTER THIRTEEN

CORDELIA

I sit on the ground of the cave with my leg stretched out in front of me. Adrian has his head on my lap as he’s stretched out on the floor beside me. Gale, like always, finds a wall to hold up. Torin is helping the seers move my father out of the water and onto a stone platform. Dravyn has mirrored my position, he’s so close that his arm brushes against mine. We have listened to the seer for what feels like hours, and the more I hear, the more the pieces of the puzzle come together.

I watch as Torin tucks a blanket over my father, and with one last look at him he joins us on the floor, followed by the other seers. Their sheer robes cling to their wet bodies but their long silver hair conceals their nudity from me and my men. Thank goodness for that.

I don’t know if I am being selfish, but I don’t want to be the only one to bear all the weight of the things we have learned today. We are a team. Right? Or is this just another example of my lack of confidence in my new role? Of course, my men would tell me I am being ridiculous, but hey, just two months ago I was making soap. Not necessarily a queenly thing to do.

Clearing his throat, Gale pushes himself off the wall, and I know he is getting ready to ask more questions of his own. What would I do without all of them? I would be lost. I can admit that to myself right now.
