I standon the balcony in my rooms in Queen Ulla’s palace, watching Prince Gerald and Lord Hugh follow Advisor Rhine through the courtyard. Grik and Foarde left Avedon yesterday. Today, it’s their turn.
It’s been three days since the betrothal contest ended. Three days since I became a prisoner in the fae realm, and I am no closer to getting out of here. My fellow champions, however, are being forced out.
Queen Ulla and her advisors publicly stated the cessation of alliance negotiations with members from the earth realm. The news had come as a shock, especially since it was accompanied by the order that all mortal contestants and ambassadors return to our realm at once. Except for me and Tony.
Despite the healer’s plan for Tony to wake up after two days, he has yet to regain consciousness after suffering Death’s Kiss during the final challenge of the betrothal contest. I wish I’d pushed the fae healers to try a different method of treatment, rather than rendering Tony unconscious. Despite their hopeful words, the healers have no idea what’s keeping Tony asleep. And they don’t know how to fix it.
The only good thing to come out of this ordeal is that Guardian Legrand gets to stay in Avedon. He wanted to take Tony back to our world to have our healers help him, but the lead healer here, Healer Giselle, thinks it is too dangerous to move Tony through the portal. So, Tony remains here with me and Guardian Legrand watching over him.
If I’m not sulking in my rooms, I’m with one of those two men. I avoid everyone else. Especially Thalore. That avoidance, unfortunately, ends today.
Because today, I am moving to Thalore’s rooms. At the queen’s orders.
