AYLAI sighed as a glimpse of Slade’s hands on my waist filled my mind. The words he whispered to me still felt like ice poured on my body. The moment he noticed how shaken I was, he let go of me. He didn’t allow me to ask what he meant by that, and I was too scared to run after him and ask. The battle between, Slade kingdom, Mercia, and the rogues has reached the far corners of our world. Many lords and nobles have come to pay respect to King Slade and to see for themselves if he is as strong as the words they are hearing.“Lady Ayla, lady,” the sound of my name brought me back to reality. “Yes,” I responded, looking at myself in the mirror before me. “What do you think, ma’am?” I was asked, and I sighed. The peach flowing gown, off-the-shoulder dress looked perfect on me. Back in Asher’s palace, I never looked this good. The sheer soft fabric blended with my skin, and it radiated confidence.“I love it,” I said to her, and she smiled. She bowed slightly, moved aside, and allowed

AYLAWhen Slade’s footsteps disappeared down the corridor, I exhaled the breath I’d been holding.My heart was still racing. My skin still tingled from where he touched me, or rather, almost touched me.

With him trying to touch me, and me almost letting him.I wrapped my arms tighter around myself and leaned against the stone wall, the coo

AYLAIt’s been a few days since the lion attack, and more so, Queen Lyra’s accusation of me starting said attack.Now, because of her accusation, I get mixed reactions from the people in the palace. Some look at me with amusement while others give me the side eye. I could feel myself being undressed by them. But, in the days that have passed, I haven’t seen Riven, nor does anyone seem to know or remember him. I have been to the training yard to catch a glimpse of him, even waking up early, but he is nowhere to be found. It looked like he just disappeared. The first day, I asked the weapon master where he was.“Riven?” The old man squinted at me. “Don’t know anyone by that name, lass.”I laughed, certain he was teasing. “Tall, lean, a bit of an arrogant smirk? He helped train the new soldiers. He saved me during the lion attack.”His face remained blank. “I think you hit your head harder than you thought that day.”I left with my stomach turning.The second day, I approached a servan
