I’m wearing a wig. A freaking wig. In the end, that seemed like the best option. I wasn’t quite brave enough for the warrior Princess option.

The wig almost looks like my real hair, but I can’t help running my hand through it self-consciously.

“Don’t worry, it looks good,” Frost reassures me as we walk towards the throne room.

He’s assigned to me today – Storm is working with Gwain, Crispin is looking after my mother and Arc is helping Tamara with spy stuff. Storm tried to insist on two Guardians being with me at all times, but he realised that everybody is too busy for that.

“Have you ever met Flora?” I ask him, mentally going through what I read on her yesterday evening before going to bed.

“Only once, but I don’t really remember it. She didn’t seem very interesting at the time. There was gossip about her hooking up with Fav, but I’ve never really cared for all of that.”

“Hooking up? That’s a strange way of describing the relationships of Gods.”

“They’re not as godly as people think,” he explains. “They all have their faults and weaknesses. It’s easiest to see Gods as just another species, like Guardians and humans. They might have a bit more power, but that doesn’t make them any more intelligent.”

“I don’t think most Gods would agree with that statement.” Tamara is waiting for us in front of the large doors leading to the throne room. She’s grinning widely at Frost’s statement, as if she agrees entirely with him. I suppose she has a lot of dealings with Gods, whether they’re aware of it or not. She has spies in all of their Realms who likely tell her of the unsavoury things those Gods are up to.

“Darling, you look lovely,” she tells me, looking up and down my dress. “The brooch is a nice touch. Shall I get you the diadem as well?”

I shake my head, worried that the diadem might make the wig slide off my head. Unlikely, but I don’t quite trust that hairy thing yet.

“Flora is waiting for you inside. I’ve taken the liberty to make everyone else leave, except for a few guards, of course. Is there anything else you need from me?”

“How’s my mother?”

I didn’t have time to check on her before coming here. It makes me feel bad, but I know that she would prefer me to focus on my Royal duties rather than sit by her bedside.

“Doing well. Crispin just arrived when I left, so she’s in good hands. Don’t worry, you’ll do fine. See you at the Council meeting.”

She smiles and hurries off down the corridor, leaving Frost and me alone.

I take a deep breath.

“Let’s do this.”
