When I wake up, the first thing I see isn’t my ceiling.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJD1ogKueu1
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIC0qGaqAR
No glow from my phone. No pile of empty chip packets.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDDcaVm7Zh
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4FBP6xMWd
Just a white canopy, silk sheets, and gold that’s way too shiny for my tax bracket.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJRnFfax14
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnA97O8ru9s
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rf9thhYyf
And then—153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS326hyPA8Y
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1maXLKnVx7
it hits me.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi1uS2TDhf
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cpADIVcDa
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbalboyrzFD
Not like a gentle memory montage.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqUI1WNDQo
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmCUznlgBg
More like a truck.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly9IpFgHFA
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3nS9SUwqN
Flashes. Fire. Clara’s face. His eyes.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIHjce7Wim
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zwgUHoUyP
The Witch. The King. Me.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeXw9hWuav
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo7XrEQHBy
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5Mi5QYeYF
I sit up, heart pounding. My hands are shaking.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh6Q15Xcq6
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtNHQODDkI
I know now. I know who I am.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMceQQxRNoL
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqCIbXdTPE
And I know what’s about to happen.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7Q6jdtBgk
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡND534hk7BU
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuRqHC9d5d
Somewhere out there, he’s about to die.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz7drCW6nM
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81Sp1TTWdy
For killing Clara.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi1aGrYzqX
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwR4xQpeVGm
And I… I remember why.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM0s5ZmW8W
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCbLn6cAi4
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTJWQytnNd
I don’t even think.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmFKJNWqx6
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEMzFet3QL
I throw on the first robe I find and bolt through the hallways.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnpXakHeT5
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlApGh8Soqt
Servants gasp, guards yell, someone calls me Your Grace —153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGFIxgjTng
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtOe32m7hy
but I don’t stop.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvlUACvRPq
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk8wQAbD5D
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmq0LFl7pns
Because I can see it in my head —153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpBJ2fcpOt
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkwERFqGwn
that boy, the one with the ocean-blue eyes and the calm that makes you want to scream,153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohMgPN1ily
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaq9VgJtAvp
being dragged toward a block of stone.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFMOvnzWyn
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTupwj692l
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU57Sy6nOcb
By the time I reach the courtyard, my lungs are on fire.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCu6cgyhGWE
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5S60BN0AL
He’s there. Kneeling. Rope cutting into his wrists.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZkOFtjCt9
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgH6gUNp5jg
The sword’s already raised.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NxII3XEfu
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YJklggGlx
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3Wqx4yf99
And I just—153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngxqKKsGTZ
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILEZba9tAE
scream.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1G4dzyYct
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lGruqGf7b
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6at3n1eNNN

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNz5e2WEvqY
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT3TTr7CB1

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbFTD9UliQ
Everything freezes.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHvpyqfYA9
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeT8ff56gsP
Every single head turns.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDwAOnl2Cj
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZGKdErzaS
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4Zn1uOcUZ
> “He didn’t kill her because he wanted to!” I shout, voice cracking.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9L8iBKDwIe
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VI54d6xJ9
“I—I blackmailed him! I told him to do it!”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJuwRYLQjL

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6e6R5ABSH
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eHZVuRBnl
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1okYwtgiqa
Gasps. Murmurs. Someone drops a goblet.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJtwaCwmlY
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZWccRujFi
And the boy — he just looks at me.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDgwSAEHWi
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NsKr50uAc
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj36GKRtac2
Those same eyes. Blue and endless.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHceljgQm6
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReFgrADUU7
No confusion. No panic.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wbkdmNIzF
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoWMbUHjQP
Just that same maddening calm.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedUQlqf3sE
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0lkQIIK3z
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkvq87sHPJ
Like he knew I’d say it.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NHK9YRMbz
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGl3NmD5Q7
Like this was always supposed to happen.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9opBjmeSh
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHDfvbO7Uj
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ1Vh8ZRv3
And standing there, heart about to burst,153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfJGTJUAah
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OZeXowMH1
I realize something terrifying.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4nIY54w2j
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVXLxJUFdp
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a7WcApfVW
Maybe I didn’t just play the game.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd77YJKsq8c
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyGvolBYmf
Maybe the game’s been playing me.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ws5OGwtRK
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MNmbZzMfO
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lJa1knmgR
The silence that followed my scream was so sharp, I could hear my own heartbeat trying to crawl out of my chest.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiwqtdM4eo
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUve2ZmXmJq
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHmQISHEdL
Then—153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC2BgrNdDN
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNXXCa4aSJ
a murmur.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42ftDEtLMJ
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXN5D8aXgKk
Then another.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZSaHWRoTg
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLPxT5OOd9
And suddenly the whole courtyard buzzed like a hive of very judgmental bees.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPUYlRRYRK
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLXIQsG5kw
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad8BQ5H36j
> “Ah, a sibling quarrel, then.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wT9MlWzqY
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxFoUV5X9E
“How typical of royal blood.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShZ9Ee7mJE

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYmwl56Qfp
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOV8lsbOhZ

They said it like it was tea gossip.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfstfqvVV1
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7PUoFFUhg
Like Clara’s death was just another headline for tomorrow’s banquet chatter.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ009FY2TOZd
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwQYybMFMB
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEWHPyFqN1
The guards hesitated, looked at one another — and then at me.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9x5vVB9NvG
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31axJ9T12m
No one moved to grab me.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0C3Gc7Nmz
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzddvKEDqDW
Instead, one of them quietly cut the ropes binding him.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEbQATNpXA
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxJDTZx1Rf
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEL0Rtj643
I just stood there.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qek5YVzJd
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6v8djVvDM
Half-shaking. Half-laughing in disbelief.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cQB6LejaL
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdox3BlD15w
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvODYR5uoD
He rose slowly, the faint sunlight catching on his golden hair.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUK7lx3TF7
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JktKyJuqa
The blood on his hands looked like ink on silk.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeairBa3pO
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0TTeIZARY
His calm didn’t waver.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5oaYcsJhV
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVOcI5vXqo
Not once.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIvZbvSdr3
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8MtuxnKW5
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ERKLa8AEN
And the people… just watched.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFz1kXQA3q
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16p6o3nq8w
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFSN0iumOz
Not outrage. Not horror.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOxJ5uqCyL
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XjM39FNyl
Just detached curiosity.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik6xOBxQnc
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZm9gP8u9n
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKd9Jdw3bj
I wanted to scream again, but all that came out was a small, cracked laugh.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec9ryG8hLL
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRocOGBQzgB
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ474cY5zPqj

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPSzyubj3f
“Confessed to royal murder and everyone’s like—‘oh, sibling drama, how quaint.’ Totally fine. Completely normal Tuesday.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsU5eLDNHpf

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46oCegrEOn
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5XqGeR8Ki
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnao2JB7jG8
The boy’s eyes found mine then.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSelWjMlmO0
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWvLeD7XFx
Blue. Cold. Still.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmuEqJu54L
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0UvtGDbd0
No anger. No confusion.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73jDsBnj6N

Just that same, knowing silence.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQYb1EESkR
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54WOILl4B5
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPz03DDv3D
And then he turned.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0L3allHRY
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiwI9SG8jU
Walked away.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY9GEsPfwh
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP58xafHIy
Free.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqocpy5uX36
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfhttHB9gL
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNEncfxXQH
Leaving me there—153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9ZDWSzqNH
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg3JbNsAok
alone, surrounded by murmurs,153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGw4sGI5g2
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZCIqRC3I3
wondering what kind of nightmare lets you take the blame for a murder and still somehow feel like you’re the one being executed.1234 copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5SP9SFntD 尼
