In ten years or so, you may return,” Salvador replied. Kylie drew in a sharp breath, her heart sinking. In ten years—perhaps even longer-the capital would have changed entirely. Would she still be able to be the queen, or even the queen dowager? She quickly weighed her options. If she stayed, then even if Cecil…

Caden had long since been reduced to tears, his face streaked with grief and regret. As his legs gave out beneath him, he collapsed onto the cold stone floor, hands clamped over his ears as if that might drown out his mother’s screams. Salvador then ordered that Lyra be brought in. She was to remain…

The second prince knelt without a word. However, his lips remained sealed and he offered no reply. Salvador watched him for a long while, then slowly extended a hand to help him rise. “Do not fear, my son. I am here.” But Caden instinctively withdrew his hand and shrank back, his discomfort palpable. Grace quickly…

“Prince Cecil is a suspect, but I spoke to Ryan. That day, Prince Cecil was indeed riding Prince Connor’s horse, but it was Prince Caden who helped him down. Prince Caden wasn’t strong or tall enough, so it took some effort,” Sophie replied. “So, Prince Cecil wasn’t the only one who touched the horse,” Violet…
