When I wake up, the first thing I see isn’t my ceiling.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdgnPliC89
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq2p4n9J6H
No glow from my phone. No pile of empty chip packets.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEN3gFohnf6
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNupD8ykuo
Just a white canopy, silk sheets, and gold that’s way too shiny for my tax bracket.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet8yPgfMQo
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhoodfKGdt
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63TLurhX3t
And then—153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXY4GfcPum
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrAPcObam4
it hits me.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKT0YCT1Fy
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DM4RQtnz0
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1YyRWiHIc
Not like a gentle memory montage.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYTCFK5mZD
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ87LUVn1lY
More like a truck.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxIBRQvBw9
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBGsVNfbGW
Flashes. Fire. Clara’s face. His eyes.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8tVDU91ZW
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHi8U5u4cB
The Witch. The King. Me.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHETaXlLAH5
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L5dQFF9ny
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlcrytC4mc
I sit up, heart pounding. My hands are shaking.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu3gUOochu
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdboPyZv2zs
I know now. I know who I am.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdUcIQLFEp

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWMOgqNOMs
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHFujhc7kp
Somewhere out there, he’s about to die.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThwryrWNhm
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlE6oBXjXF6
For killing Clara.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH0zkBpXAu
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmqtm6ewhI
And I… I remember why.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dvf7J0km1
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiYYiPKR0x
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ90Fawn4I
I don’t even think.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElEgBfzZ11
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8chJb6suns
I throw on the first robe I find and bolt through the hallways.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf17OdossKS
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBi9u4o0i2
Servants gasp, guards yell, someone calls me Your Grace —153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNklzxnRL31
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83HmBSwadK
but I don’t stop.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡae77mnNU79
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIr7NHtSpp
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUnkNncMYl
Because I can see it in my head —153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyuPKfkVlH
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4MuGeCk5t
that boy, the one with the ocean-blue eyes and the calm that makes you want to scream,153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWE7bXMBxY
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXEoyH1Yz6
being dragged toward a block of stone.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXwoZ38fhR
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡentwyNL8zu
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4S6BpDXix
By the time I reach the courtyard, my lungs are on fire.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbyLMBMRW3
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtocO3iMSG
He’s there. Kneeling. Rope cutting into his wrists.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sqovo5BaN
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITpb4bneDw
The sword’s already raised.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5jHE0aIEE
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwt4sKDlJl
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHTwGYhmHu
And I just—153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPxTUAfXTz
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nZdGnVdby
scream.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1cmeV8FjY
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMdxN1esFT
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTTsSF8yMg

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Sd4euQyXd

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtJa9ZKhIX
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8fZaOiKGE

Gasps. Murmurs. Someone drops a goblet.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmW9u0tfVU
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPYVnBJSub
And the boy — he just looks at me.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF6CpTwvh4
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUo74gBvtbb
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolXJIhp0GX
Those same eyes. Blue and endless.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mcOOUUG9m
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvRUPX6AGN
No confusion. No panic.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQqbW85fFn
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxakGoYb46
Just that same maddening calm.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAv9FMyLqb
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwxnTUishB
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb105Ntb2AS
Like he knew I’d say it.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbMdhP6x4l
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo2VEndb7M
Like this was always supposed to happen.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2DAYnqVRU
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx0IbE9wcu
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsApDNxkGxI
And standing there, heart about to burst,153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9T0ImRZCR
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCauiQWblS
I realize something terrifying.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrYRI45Xwd
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVaFTzAwjq
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4zlE9YL17
Maybe I didn’t just play the game.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qnUe5yJFb
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq1TRCdQf7
Maybe the game’s been playing me.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxYJ4hW54J
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjQGcwYxjz
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkzyPBY50K
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlcmNGbG1E
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMNG5N0sPY
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjc8Apcxeq
Then—153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUpOdRTmjp
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR5ZezNo20
a murmur.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5AM8lpEeh
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlW3PUJ33ks
Then another.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfBGn1oIkA
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I6bcGe5em
And suddenly the whole courtyard buzzed like a hive of very judgmental bees.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCAhVJE9F7
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47mEj5SHaL
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgXkzqaQJU
> “Ah, a sibling quarrel, then.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvhH11TPU1
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kN7AjqTwI
“How typical of royal blood.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZN5ZQYe31s

They said it like it was tea gossip.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxglJauVsfN
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwD2S2Qbgm
Like Clara’s death was just another headline for tomorrow’s banquet chatter.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2ZqLU5H5V
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMslXYxd1X7
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSiOoaP9xD
The guards hesitated, looked at one another — and then at me.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qWTgeg07j
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdv4mpW0jm
No one moved to grab me.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykB51fhDae
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBOyA6B6tW
Instead, one of them quietly cut the ropes binding him.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMbJwQPftb
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLbzZKiB3A
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bXYP3CQ6k
I just stood there.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3AjgaL9FQ
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEh2mNxWo4
Half-shaking. Half-laughing in disbelief.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6BdsJBwIz
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Gh4nqYBRO
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QYkheUPtd
He rose slowly, the faint sunlight catching on his golden hair.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HtYqevlrZ
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKYzlBw6jr
The blood on his hands looked like ink on silk.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAXWv2eUaD
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9N2RA66TK0
His calm didn’t waver.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6O65qrDRJ
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EnoQvgwgK
Not once.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQbnNkD3cX
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReans3Gq59
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXwORuGjBt
And the people… just watched.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sFm7O5Mls
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZhXY5GSh9
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbLnxVC5ow
Not outrage. Not horror.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TfIK6tipW
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpOhATRpGB
Just detached curiosity.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMJ3guKabH
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVx3yixoyI
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuaA01b2Tz
I wanted to scream again, but all that came out was a small, cracked laugh.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzm6AHbw4qz
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvDyIfqFax
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ829xBphVm

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fmI69q8qs
“Confessed to royal murder and everyone’s like—‘oh, sibling drama, how quaint.’ Totally fine. Completely normal Tuesday.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhU7qgKGcB

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ph9yYGXYz
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaz01WSh0Mq

The boy’s eyes found mine then.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRGd2If7aD
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iREVgMjaZ
Blue. Cold. Still.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPUAUdxpOo
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLedySxLPht
No anger. No confusion.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyasf9EfFg

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJLCB9PyLp
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0J76DO7e6C
And then he turned.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqtY5CFrW9
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQhv4eDP2e
Walked away.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6eeCPbyaQ

Free.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhL0DqXNfdt
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS3lCyBdmm
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJqeQ2OONs
Leaving me there—153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtBVYDwMKU
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXxzZJnGai
alone, surrounded by murmurs,153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDG5T2wafG9
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyamHP2SdO
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 protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ2wXvnGwL 尼
