More importantly, this will mean war. I have Jacob as my prisoner, and King Peter is already demanding to have him back. He believes the child Opal is carrying is mine. He will attack if I don’t acknowledge that the agreement we made has already been carried out. I try to come up with a way to expl
*Emory*I had been shocked when they told me that I could go back to my room, that there was no reason for me to continue to stay in the infirmary. Nellie and Helga had been there with me to help me make it back to my room. I am feeling a lot better, though my shoulder is still sore.They insisted I
