Chapter 24

“Can we fucking leave now?” Evert says way too loudly.

It’s been at least two hours, and it’s clear that Evert is at his play-nice-with-others-limit. Sylred gives him the side-eye and then smiles at the noble who’s been talking their ear off about some boring crop growth or something. Or maybe he's still talking about the rise of the fish population? I don’t know. I spaced out after about thirty seconds of the drawling fae opening his mouth.

You'd think this party would be more exciting, what with the pipe smoking and the moaning going on behind the drapery. But no. We're here, stuck with crop talk.

When the noble fae gapes at Evert’s rude interruption, Sylred just pats the fae on the back. “Long week with the culling. I’m sure you understand.”

The fae attempts to look nonplussed as he strokes his muddy mustache. Like, literal mud. I don’t know what kind of fae he is, but he looks like he just strolled out of a swamp. “Yes. Yes, of course. Your covey must be looking forward to returning to your island.”

Sylred nods. “Definitely. If you’ll excuse us.”

The guys try to make their getaway. I get slightly distracted at the very interesting orgy taking place on the pillowed floor beside the dance floor.

I tilt my head. “Huh. Interesting positions.” I make sure to memorize the scene. For science.

I hurry to float back to the guys, and I catch up to them just as Princess Soora heads them off. The three of them stop and bow. She smiles kindly at them, and as usual, she still looks beautiful and poised. Her lavender hair is impeccable, even after all the dancing she’s been subjected to.

She ignores the sounds of the orgy going on in full swing behind her. Seriously, it's loud. Even Sylred's eyes keep darting over.

“Your Highness,” Ronak greets her.

She runs her bright purple eyes over the three of them as if she’s sizing them up. She has a gaggle of high fae followers behind her who I’m pretty sure are trying to undress my guys with their eyes.

I stand in front of them protectively. It’s not like I’m actually blocking their view, but I feel like it’s the thought that counts in these situations.

“Congratulations on making it through the culling," she says.

“Thank you.”

“I am glad that your entire covey made it out.”

“That’s very kind,” Sylred replies, smiling with his eye crinkles. Gah. Those damn eye crinkles get me every time.

She glances out the nearby window. “Lovely night, wouldn’t you agree? The moon is positively vivid.”

Evert looks like he doesn’t give a single fuck about what the moon looks like, but somehow manages to stop from rolling his eyes. He’s respectful like that.

Ronak nods. “Yes, Your Highness, it is.”

“I often like to take walks in my private courtyard in order to enjoy it all the more. I find that midnight is often the most illuminating time. Wouldn’t you agree?” she asks, looking at them pointedly.

The guys share a look.

“Oooh. You’re speaking spy right now, aren’t you?” I say excitedly.
