Chapter Fifteen

Attitudes changed among those still up as word of the mysterious sighting went around in whispers. And though they were all questioned separately, nothing came of it.

At least, Naydra decided, nothing so far. The general and other leaders listened to her and nodded, nothing on their faces. And all they said was thank you.

Thank you? For—

She stopped.

For what? Maybe seeing something? She frowned as she sat on the chair in the windowless room she’d been made to wait in.

Naydra knew it wasn’t maybe. Apart from her soulmate and being able to kiss that way, not to mention how he stirred delicious things in her, Seijan wouldn’t say he saw something if he didn’t.

He’d been cautious. Wanting to wait until it appeared again or rose from the waters. But that hadn’t happened, and he’d done right by mentioning it. This wasn’t court. This was life and death.

A guard, one of those stone-faced people with the sleek black weapons, entered the room. “You’ve been dismissed, Miss Stoneheart.”

She nodded thanks at the man and made her way out of the room and down the halls and finally to her wing and room.

Exhaustion clung to her every cell, weighing it down, and she wanted nothing more than to strip down and slide in between the sheets of her newly made-up bed. But she couldn’t. Not yet. Not after last night. First, she pulled her room apart, searching for more graphite.

The room was clean, not even a hint of graphite, and this time she searched for other things, such as rose quartz that could be used easily and effectively against her.

Nothing.

With a soft sigh, she stripped down and neatly folded the borrowed clothes and pulled on her fresh night shirt. Finally, she extinguished the light and slid between her sheets.

She wanted sleep and its oblivion. She had a mind that wouldn’t stop.

Who had put the graphite in her room in the first place? She did a rudimentary search by rote because sometimes the best way to get to the king was to remove the cupbearer. Kah’leev had trained her well, and she did that search here. Tonight, she’d taken time, a micro search. But like last night, she’d known there was nothing in here before the search—she hadn’t sensed it as she’d been trained to—and she’d been right.

It meant one thing.

Someone had gotten into her locked room and out again, depositing the graphite.

That someone didn’t just have dragon magic. They had skills. Knew spells.

She shivered.

Spells were the realm of witches and those who’d studied in those arts. Dragons and dragon shifters had different magic on their own, witches or not, the regular non shifting people, well, some had dragon magic, some didn’t. But right then she wished she knew the arts.

The rudimentary spells she knew didn’t stretch to locking doors. Or blocking other from coming in unasked. All she had under her belt was extremely basic detection spells, to be used in detecting certain poisons.

And so she lay awake, staring up at the ceiling, even as sleep dragged at her.
