2024-10-29 19:42:56Reeve was waiting for Kit, so she released the commander with a fond smile and turned to the other man. The Representative from Erast Hollow wasn’t one to call attention to himself, so she imagined the fact that he was waiting for her meant he was desperate for some time with her. It had been a while, and she knew she needed to remedy that.
“Are you enjoying your evening? You look troubled,” he asked as they began a slow waltz.
“Not anymore troubled than usual. Yes, it’s been lovely so far, thank you. And you?”
“It’s better now.”
Kit smiled at the compliment. “I’m so sorry I haven’t been able to spend much time with you recently. So much has been going on. I’ve missed you.”
“Don’t apologize, Princess. I understand. I’ve missed you as well, but when you have several duties to perform and many men to spend time with, it’s bound to come to

Standing next to her bed completely undressed with an equally nude Drake in front of her, Kit’s heart was beating out of her chest. It was apparent with his clothes on that he was chiseled, but she’d had no idea just how rippled his chest was. His thighs were pure muscle, and Kit imagined he could crush a melon by squeezing it between them. His skin was smooth and buttery, and when he kissed her, his lips were warm and soft.He was nervous, though he was trying to hide it. She’d taken the lead to get him to this point, but she had a feeling he would come to life once she led him to the bed. She ran her palm across his chest and then slid it up to the back of his neck, pulling his head down so she could reach his lips. His cock was hard, and the immense length prevented her from getting too close until he reached down and lifted it out of the way. She leaned into him, his arms coming around her so that his fingertips trailed down her spine and across her bott

The morning meal was over, and Kit was on a mission, though she was trying not to project her duplicitous actions as she shot off of the dais and out the door without so much as a “good morning” to any of her Representatives. Perhaps saying something to someone would’ve been less suspicious, but the thought didn’t enter her head until she was halfway to the kitchen. She fully expected someone to come running after her, but when no one did, other than her two guards, which was unfortunate because they may very well tell Eli what she was up to, she prayed to the goddesses she could complete the task at hand and make it back to her chambers without anyone asking her what was going on.The kitchen was bustling with dishwashing and preparation for the midday meal. It seemed this place was always busy, except for perhaps in the wee hours of the night. Lots of servants hustled by, most taking the time to nod or bow their heads in her direction. She didn&rsquo

The forest was alive with the sounds of creatures preparing for cold weather ahead. Belle picked her way through the fallen leaves of scarlet, bright orange, and citrus colors, their already decaying kin crunching beneath them under the weight of her hooves. A light breeze stirred the fine hairs that had come loose from her pins, and Kit felt more alive than she had for half a moon’s phase.Reeve rode behind her, his horse tromping through the leaves, not as delicate as sweet Belle. A large chestnut stallion, named Red—clearly a suggestion from Reeve’s grandfather who preferred obvious names—the horse did exactly as his rider instructed, which was no surprise to Kit since Reeve had proven himself a horse whisperer the first time she’d visited the barn with him.That seemed so long ago. So many events had taken place since then. She remembered thinking he was slightly aloof until he’d kissed her there in front of the horse stalls. Now

Kit led Reeve down a narrow path, unsure if she was going the right direction or not, but thinking the babbling brook that led away from the spring had to be somewhere nearby, particularly when the foliage turned an even darker shade of green. Then, she heard it off in the distance and knew if she followed the lane deeper into the forest, she’d find the creek and then the spring.The closer they got, the louder the water grew. Kit loved the sound of its melody, singing through the trees and bouncing through the bushes. The water was flowing quickly over the tops of craggy, moss covered rocks, and Kit pulled Belle to a stop to watch and listen.The horses dipped their heads to draw refreshment from the shallow pool on the shore. The water was no more than a hands-length deep at any part of the brook, but it glistened in the sunlight streaming through the canopies and seemed as alive as the birds that echoed its refrain.“This is spectacular,” Re

An apple sat in the windowsill in the library. Kit noticed it when she came back from her ride with Reeve. She’d had to hurry to get ready for dinner because it had taken longer than expected to find her way back out of the forest and to the castle, but she had seen the red fruit sitting there and knew that Blankka had fulfilled her mission.Either that, or this was all a set up, and Blankka was truly still loyal to the queen. She’d find out soon enough.Dinner was full of the same nonsense as always, although her mother did seem excited about the archery competition the next day. She’d wondered aloud if Jaterius would be the winner in this official match or if one of the other Representatives would find a way to best him. “It was a close contest last time.”“Yes, but Eliason was not part of that match,” Grandmother Junno noted.Instantly, Rona’s nose wrinkled. “As far as I remember, he’s never b

Danyen was quiet all the way to her room. Kit could only imagine he was thinking about their plan, that or he was also worried she’d irritated the queen to no good end. Once in her chambers, her ladies dismissed for the night, they did not proceed the way she normally would when sharing her bed with a man. Instead, Kit sat on her chair by the window, and Danyen sat on the stool in front of her dressing table. It was the safest way to make sure they did not grow distracted by each other’s company.“You do realize it’s not even the middle of the night yet, don’t you?” Danyen asked, his voice enlightening her to the fact that he was having trouble keeping his distance.“Yes, I know. But I always grow sleepy after a good pleasuring, and I would hate to think I might be unable to get out of bed and carry out my plans.”He chuckled. “What if I promise to keep it quick and to do all of the work?”She jo

Kit crossed the room, finding the opening quickly. She remembered the knob combination and went to spin it, but the door was slightly ajar. Pierce had been here recently. With a deep breath, Kit stepped into the darkness.This passage was just as dark as the last, but it wasn’t as dirty. She wondered if Pierce had actually brought a rag with him and dusted as he went or if it was just from his form fumbling down the passage so often. She couldn’t imagine Pierce wanting to stand before the queen covered in cobwebs, so she wouldn’t have been surprised if he actually did clean the space as he used it.Kit had been counting her footsteps, but when she noticed a light up ahead of her, she stopped. It seemed as if Pierce may have left the door at the other end of the tunnel ajar as well, which was surprising to Kit, considering it opened into the queen’s sleeping chambers. It wasn’t like Rona to be so careless.When she reached the small

“Shhh, Kit!” a familiar voice said as he pulled her to his chest. “It’s just me.”Kit pulled away from Eli’s grasp, and he let her go. She punched him, hard, in the arm. “What in the hell are you doing? You scared the shite out of me!”If her blow bothered him, he didn’t let on. “You’re a fine one to be asking what I’m doing, Katrinetta. Where have you been?”“What makes you think I answer to you?” Her voice was too loud, and he shushed her again. Tired of being stalked, Kit stepped around him, headed for the armoire where she’d hidden her gown.He followed but didn’t obstruct her. “Kit, did you follow Pierce?”She didn’t turn to look at him, only pulled her clothing out and wrapped all of the pieces around her arms so she wouldn’t drop any of them before closing the door and heading for the secret passage.“Kit

Eventually, Kit stepped back, signaling she was done, and her party faded into the hallway. Eli was right, there was much to be done, and Kit wasn’t even sure where to begin with the task of restoring the realm to its former glory. But there was no doubt her first appointment with the council would be to approve the new law that would allow her to rule before the end of her Choosing, one that would allow her to keep all seven of the men who stood around her now.As if reading her mind, Zora, her great-aunt and a distinguished member of the council stepped forward. “Queen Katrinetta, I would like to present to you a new law, passed by the council earlier this day. All it needs is your signature.”Confused, Kit took the sheet of parchment and began to read. When her eyes reached the bottom of the paper, she looked up. “How did you know...?”“Junno explained everything to us,” Nil said, stepping forward. “And we agree

“We love you, Kit. We’ll always be here for you,” Jate said to her right.“Even when we’re broken,” Danyen added, getting a giggle out of her and the others.“It’s our privilege to be with you,” Drake said in his deep, steady voice.Reeve took her hand. “Your belief in us has shaped us into who we are.”“And given us the confidence to stand with you as you become queen,” Landon said in her ear.“It’s all been well-worth it, Kit, to see you take the throne.” Cassius was still battered, but he looked much better now, with a smile on his face, than he had since Kit had found him in the dungeon.Kit shifted her eyes to Eli, assuming he would also say something. His eyes darted around several times, and she could tell he was attempting to come up with something no one else had said, but they’d all expressed themselves so well, it was a difficult

No longer frightened of the woman who used to terrorize her, Kit raised her arms between her mother’s bringing them down to the sides quickly so as to prevent her mother from ever making contact with her neck. Rona’s arms snapped down and she winced in pain. Her eyes bulged in surprise at her daughter’s strength. Kit took advantage of her mother’s stunned expression long enough to plant her fist in Rona’s right eye. Her mother rocked backward, grabbing at her face as Kit felt Eli’s familiar hand on her shoulder, seeking to calm her. Clearly, the older woman was no physical threat to Kit or anyone else.The bejeweled, golden crown atop Rona’s head wobbled as the queen staggered from the blow. It slid free, tumbling toward the floor. Kit reached out a hand and plucked it from the air. “The goddess have spoken!” she declared, ignoring the fact that it was the force of her own strike that had dislodged the crown. Nearly everyo

Watching the battle take place from the hallway had been unsettling for Kit, especially when she saw Eli faltering. For a moment, it had looked as if Vin might be victorious. Her attention had been pulled away when she learned Danyen was injured. Despite Galter’s best efforts to stop her, the princess insisted on going in and tending to him, and she had been there, placing pressure on the wound when Armant arrived. Danyen apologized for not being as handy with a sword as he was a quill, but Kit had only kissed him and assured him he was perfect in her sight.And then she’d seen hesitancy in Cassius and Eli as they considered mercy for Vin, the monster who had hurt and tortured so many. Ending him seemed like the right thing to do for all of the people of Yewforia, though she could never fault her men for weighing the costs of taking a life, even when that life was as worthless as scar face’s.She’d been stunned to see Jecob standing on the dais,

Across the room, Eli heard a shout and a roar of laughter. He could hardly let the situation distract him, but his head flickered in that direction for a moment, and he saw Danyen on the ground, grasping his middle. Drake was there and ended the laughing soldier who’d stabbed Danyen, but the Representative looked seriously wounded. Looking around the room, as he saw Vin trying to take advantage of his distraction, out of the corner of his eye, Eli spotted a member of his own guard who had just finished a man off. “Nen! Go to the infirmary and fetch Armant, as quickly as you can!”Eli hardly had time to see the guardsman nod in understanding before Vin’s persistence paid off, and his sword caught Eli in the left shoulder. It was a glancing blow as Eli dodged to his right, but this wound was deeper than the last and hurt more. It was not enough to slow him, though. Eli came flying back at Vin with a vengeance, thinking of his comments about Kit, how he h

The scene in the throne room was chaotic at best. Looking around, Eli quickly ascertained the situation. While the revolutionaries and several members of the Princess’s Guard had the upper hand, there were still twenty or thirty members of the Queen’s Guard and military doing their best to defend the door to the queen’s chambers.Across the room, Eli caught sight of a familiar set of dark eyes grimacing in his direction, and the Commander narrowed his focus as he stared him down. Scar face didn’t take his eyes off of Eli as he began to work his way through assailants, cutting them down easily as he moved toward his target. As he advanced, the aura of pure evil shifted the room such that darkness seemed to blot out everything around them until only Eli and the man who’d tried to end him remained. One of them would not walk out of this room.His concentration was broken when he heard another recognizable voice shout, “Goedwig! You&rsqu

The door to the castle was nearly nonexistent. Shards of wood hung from the upper posts, a few clung to the doorjambs, but for the most part, what had been an elegant entryway was now reduced to nothing but splinters and flecks of gold paint, thanks to the battering ram Eli had mentioned earlier.Realizing the only weapon she had was the small dagger, Kit scoured the ground for a sword. She saw one lying on the floor just inside of the castle entrance and picked it up, certain the poor fellow reposing nearby would no longer need it. She turned to tell her ladies they should do the same but noted they were already armed. Seph and Isla both had swords, though not as large and cumbersome as the one Kit had just procured, and Avinia had a bow she must’ve been carrying on her saddle, a quiver strung to her back.Armant and the other men who had come along with him stepped forward. “This is where we must leave you. We’ll head to the infirmary and check on t

“Are the two of you at peace now?” Kit asked Eli and Cassius.“I suppose so,” Eli began. “If he wants to go off and get himself killed, there will be one less person to share you with.” He smiled at Cassius, a mischievous twinkle in his eye, and the larger man reached around Kit and popped him in the arm.“You’d better not get yourself killed. Any of you.” Kit looked around and saw all seven of the men she’d chosen nearby, five of them already saddled and ready to go, the other two done arguing. While she hadn’t made Drake’s appointment official, she would, as soon as she knew the outcome of the battle at hand.Kit’s hip was still aching from where she cut it on the door earlier. Normally, she’d be able to mount Belle by herself, but with her leg torn up, she decided it would be easier to ask for help. Turning to Eli, she asked, “Will you give me a boost?”&ldq

Avinia had quite an entourage with her, including several wagons’ worth of food and water, clean clothes, a few weapons, and Armant with medical supplies. She’d enlisted some castle servants to drive the wagons, and as soon as they reached the remaining prisoners, they also helped the physician as he began to assess wounds and care for the sick and injured. Bea, his nurse who was also a faithful member of the revolt, was there to help as well.Kit wasn’t sure who to go to first. Both of her cousins, along with their husbands, dropped down from their horses, and Kit could see Avinia’s eyes searching for her through the crowd. But she also wanted to run to Drake and Danyen, who were bringing up the end of the line, along with Gavin, Asher, and a few of the other remaining Representatives.The men would have to wait. Avinia rushed over, embracing Kit quickly before she backed up. “You smell terrible.”“Thank you. I just sli
