When I wake up, the first thing I see isn’t my ceiling.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrhXuJL8lt
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHX3RBbaVV0
No glow from my phone. No pile of empty chip packets.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jcvC18Gtd
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡno9zbtUsVy
Just a white canopy, silk sheets, and gold that’s way too shiny for my tax bracket.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8lQv8epEL
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPYX455NDG
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkkqJV4kxO
And then—152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbPIDfqC4H
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nVg0rC48t
it hits me.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0NEIXSC8B
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqxekIpoYm
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAE3V9w9G5C
Not like a gentle memory montage.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinNnuDUmXW
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYhgmTTAAL
More like a truck.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRUm0seXIZ
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhmhK1qbKg
Flashes. Fire. Clara’s face. His eyes.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeexkbGouv9
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaWXewdh8n
The Witch. The King. Me.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BLcwaG9p2
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeDOi91q5X
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8E3Fw2zgu
I sit up, heart pounding. My hands are shaking.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nJeVK5DqP
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZBil5VvkS
I know now. I know who I am.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HO4lG1B3X
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sW19tmZt7
And I know what’s about to happen.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DXA5AWRDu
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZx8xaKDtm
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgS15zqmkA
Somewhere out there, he’s about to die.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnhp7x37Vk
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7ivG0JXqK
For killing Clara.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA5qtHYjZk
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVP5Zm0TsQw
And I… I remember why.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhghpKT7Qz
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFo6ZGfzun
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawkPeowDZn
I don’t even think.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9vwvSfgV1
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIwkJfcYJr
I throw on the first robe I find and bolt through the hallways.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMnCpsvy3O
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKRYtsn7yv
Servants gasp, guards yell, someone calls me Your Grace —152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGE59KAnar
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CtZ9qAQ22
but I don’t stop.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamChOeybcs
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuihAV3Lbiy
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU7zx4ih39
Because I can see it in my head —152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuGbackWGE
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowkWWWU823
that boy, the one with the ocean-blue eyes and the calm that makes you want to scream,152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHFblpecco
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjncrkAfevL
being dragged toward a block of stone.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKMRDyyMgS
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6GUpzdcKZ
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7NgYKybkC
By the time I reach the courtyard, my lungs are on fire.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmA0f5jTSA
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXrErtUnAw
He’s there. Kneeling. Rope cutting into his wrists.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpiEuXnSIw
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qEVWfsd1y
The sword’s already raised.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOj1LAx9hka
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxsNoe9QcB
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvsqXh8Ely
And I just—152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1aIaXBLod
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnAwVkmC9v
scream.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfODUDqcYZ
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbRDjUQxcQ
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6oDY15foU

152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlYJp6ztrX

152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBPMP6cHVf
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXxi5VkzhJ
> “He didn’t kill her because he wanted to!” I shout, voice cracking.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiSanM5rgD
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocWThb21bG
“I—I blackmailed him! I told him to do it!”152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHrWKGtWvk

152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡON40XDbvXx
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmQ6hsQAMN
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBZUuq8IRW
Gasps. Murmurs. Someone drops a goblet.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvlg3Otc6k
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDweuwyOsH
And the boy — he just looks at me.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyN49ZIccxZ
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8DkzdM0Tj
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdliIesSqSH
Those same eyes. Blue and endless.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNUnxy5FL1
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1C4P1F1yV2
No confusion. No panic.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5knMKKbtx
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGhHm0lafa
Just that same maddening calm.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOzVFq8tMA
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJcF0Opp1J
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYJPyvDql1
Like he knew I’d say it.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3NmHXMiCa
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCvEvhcWPg
Like this was always supposed to happen.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKBtvAxgEL
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEsvcziGL0
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmvj9y2lET
And standing there, heart about to burst,152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMKZNlYxEY
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1NQ9123FA
I realize something terrifying.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6cNaMkniB
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnp2qTGXFro
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBVJ8qXMzj
Maybe I didn’t just play the game.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeJtXBX9JN
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jqv99oQFx
Maybe the game’s been playing me.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ng9vB6iqL
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlHgzCxrPP
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGDL7yiB40
The silence that followed my scream was so sharp, I could hear my own heartbeat trying to crawl out of my chest.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfSvy7ZKAv
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRDVxa2ITT
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU25jBdvAXe
Then—152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnvljNBzGy
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5Ox1tEOHe
a murmur.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxpeGvHfS8
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzNcd7WMNo
Then another.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaJtfowhd3
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSwz2rrtSi
And suddenly the whole courtyard buzzed like a hive of very judgmental bees.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7VBL3orL8
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJRAly5BkS
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoNOq1Q8RM
> “Ah, a sibling quarrel, then.”152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zXCq0oLsq
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRz4PjkSOu
“How typical of royal blood.”152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvkMjnTM9z
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Cl1OUlWsD
“The palace hasn’t had one of these in decades.”152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJg4MVzQbv

152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlov5I0cPnh
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcZTOhpZ0Z

They said it like it was tea gossip.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cZ5dseDrq
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLd1JNNT9W4
Like Clara’s death was just another headline for tomorrow’s banquet chatter.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLWp0M8kik
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrHDpEMhAJ
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6OZcrK2Oh
The guards hesitated, looked at one another — and then at me.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQoHa2mu97
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzN0KkpjfnS
No one moved to grab me.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyboaVLfch
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDKJMvEOKG
Instead, one of them quietly cut the ropes binding him.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppuet6GrmV
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMWBWwTeyG
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAfVwbDJo3
I just stood there.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqk1LqhoGmR
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsIYRM9aLL
Half-shaking. Half-laughing in disbelief.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4frkKyhO7O
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrrIMJxbAR
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbNJdpT52C
He rose slowly, the faint sunlight catching on his golden hair.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGft7PsW95
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPWJpowlpl
The blood on his hands looked like ink on silk.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIEo8e73ra
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkNthvIz40
His calm didn’t waver.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmEksFnfPO
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1LnSif6Vk
Not once.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiotGH7zZyR
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4JPRHMman
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMivLALbjbK
And the people… just watched.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jpk5w4iUU
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzo5XI0yxI
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmydPCcvzD
Not outrage. Not horror.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh0LDpFCi8
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWqOCFQFJI
Just detached curiosity.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLb6s5XmYG
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa2LANk6FK
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UIyLLLeqS
I wanted to scream again, but all that came out was a small, cracked laugh.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TrNbWp4tx
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3BzKCSzai
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfi72y77Cs6
> “Cool,” I muttered under my breath.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUvn4QI3w1
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNVifc3AfW
“Confessed to royal murder and everyone’s like—‘oh, sibling drama, how quaint.’ Totally fine. Completely normal Tuesday.”152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUhAyG62Ag

152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKxNH4e0ck
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYTWEG7F2u
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKRMNaSF1c
The boy’s eyes found mine then.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1qrwoOdBB
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmGfbUMfhi
Blue. Cold. Still.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUraSMaByIf
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusUlQ2g2BK
No anger. No confusion.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P2ZVdKrD6

Just that same, knowing silence.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDcKrmqCkK
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvn0e1kv2T
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aV8oRoJzP
And then he turned.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiyGwVGLL2
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVjROkkfMA
Walked away.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1EIq8KPQQ
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5Hr7ndJW7
Free.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpWMlvUhPE
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcyvyJZ57E
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQOAJcsBL3
Leaving me there—152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh9A7ktd8V
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qpmmNqsd8
alone, surrounded by murmurs,152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs84qRWW3gk
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwk3NeHwMM
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 protection148ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLVUjulY9u 尼
