When I wake up, the first thing I see isn’t my ceiling.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7MgtQr6Lt
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SnOVjF2Lw
No glow from my phone. No pile of empty chip packets.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbFJAW17zi
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkp6XRa14T
Just a white canopy, silk sheets, and gold that’s way too shiny for my tax bracket.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8FgE5jlLQ
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHOYurFVxh
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHNLv674Yf
And then—153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTGHLpjUeM
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFmfUuY5Vs
it hits me.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1XrS1MJi8
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4HNJxy2cR
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8u6PdeOqHt
Not like a gentle memory montage.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaqVRr6Lh6
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ439NXOqX8z
More like a truck.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9f3ATT6JcC
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0D6GYneKQ
Flashes. Fire. Clara’s face. His eyes.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDW2ZN18VL
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnZTItpuw4
The Witch. The King. Me.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxBqSvdQEa
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzj5jE4kkq
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3zZXXh9E1
I sit up, heart pounding. My hands are shaking.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHVZlQ0IIq
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZw80CmTWt4
I know now. I know who I am.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxvodM4FP3
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNkCBuv3ES
And I know what’s about to happen.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMWUSB808k
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO85gVofp35
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQFS0tACLJ
Somewhere out there, he’s about to die.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ8UVjMyLt
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwioQVDNqF0
For killing Clara.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3Gcv1tyX7
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dmXEQt8Vx
And I… I remember why.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNe72sfgyti
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsafxEhSZfQ
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRymgPKFe7
I don’t even think.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsG2kOhcoX
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4zg4x2uGA
I throw on the first robe I find and bolt through the hallways.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyc1FHPC0F
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4qa6A2GSB
Servants gasp, guards yell, someone calls me Your Grace —153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoumRgJU5cC
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIgfWeBUrR
but I don’t stop.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhATuAOn02I
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbrYA7OWUI
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwNtR5nJh9
Because I can see it in my head —153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UCReyjYUO
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSVYJZf3yk
that boy, the one with the ocean-blue eyes and the calm that makes you want to scream,153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoiIHKMNbx
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUxoFE5I0q
being dragged toward a block of stone.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsJFJ9kVhQ
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbMIc7D4s0
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwREImRu1B9
By the time I reach the courtyard, my lungs are on fire.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPa7KAVKZf
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ix6FVAJ19
He’s there. Kneeling. Rope cutting into his wrists.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdquceo1Wk
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbOHvDIeMb
The sword’s already raised.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2reoiH5QJh
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb7ysDygYZ
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyip2ercmg
And I just—153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0hjsw4ybO
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt2tbk0vHZ
scream.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCSSEVtAp0
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnZdnmCSaC
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWabH0AF1g
> “STOP! IT WAS ME!”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatB7ERVFqn
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT23ZhYVnn
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7EM5GjSRI
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BFCH2dP16
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXje8mfLDX
Everything freezes.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu03eJej0Ab
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh628h0BDk2
Every single head turns.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCEcNqvVap
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aQXrGOBac
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIx1P74Z9XS
> “He didn’t kill her because he wanted to!” I shout, voice cracking.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDD164YmOtA
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJgV4hLiAD
“I—I blackmailed him! I told him to do it!”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7TTDXkg4p
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lGmEbACk1
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz618O225c
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLwRQUHgzs
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ks2bZwBYk
Gasps. Murmurs. Someone drops a goblet.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsJtmWl96g
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQNLCCqUUI
And the boy — he just looks at me.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4eUflRkcH
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU9jKfdCqH
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJlzASxakZ
Those same eyes. Blue and endless.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0yM7r6vYw
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDrelb82zl
No confusion. No panic.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsySdet7kUb
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbzgI62wOt
Just that same maddening calm.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsgfkkdY6d
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xzH9gvPkJ
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoUNH3y7sC
Like he knew I’d say it.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhIxHMoWuo
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMeqkCp02c
Like this was always supposed to happen.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeZViuLYNi
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjV26GVSnmo
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWHm1G0RSN
And standing there, heart about to burst,153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiAp73OXdh
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzTldvRUCg
I realize something terrifying.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxVIykhbli
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF63RkAjPvl
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowblRDNcLg
Maybe I didn’t just play the game.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9yc30tKWA
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9yqNVbSyd
Maybe the game’s been playing me.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSJ9fqsQAC
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtse9FeCs2
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHHPBuvaKs
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vKwbH0J6e
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJP88SXMaU
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPApyb6wX2J
Then—153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiCsC5ayPa
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtq9E4Ov6J
a murmur.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZOEovReMD
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdp1zym3y8
Then another.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpZe9gsMzr
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ImeEVfoV2
And suddenly the whole courtyard buzzed like a hive of very judgmental bees.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXBfrOAIt6
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNCXZ9Nav4
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuIVdmiEjD
> “Ah, a sibling quarrel, then.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTys5oCZhN
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eGe4Q2Eoh
“How typical of royal blood.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaROsRRVX0
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLEQbENji5
“The palace hasn’t had one of these in decades.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlo4XraLdu

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpofoQbF1t
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMW7zIab7e8
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uZkii04TG
They said it like it was tea gossip.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuToGvcvUl
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjf7LLb9M2
Like Clara’s death was just another headline for tomorrow’s banquet chatter.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMr4g5hk4B
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbKsRPvhyw
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9JrucbBEC
The guards hesitated, looked at one another — and then at me.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Co1UsaEta
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8WzLg1yrr
No one moved to grab me.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYR21L0viu
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjMa2ZGYKV
Instead, one of them quietly cut the ropes binding him.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLtehkkLvR
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOQQnSVtQR
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0s9jaYWj4K
I just stood there.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnV772uywIu
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlzKvfFIEn
Half-shaking. Half-laughing in disbelief.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34rMdIwUyD
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7af17r7Uh
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKMkxDct5N
He rose slowly, the faint sunlight catching on his golden hair.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvcaImIHRr
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkJHrxl6U5
The blood on his hands looked like ink on silk.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK1pmPs2SB
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtzWc5gvp1
His calm didn’t waver.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppBw9FwQCD
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaLMnQeAu8
Not once.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiN5LQHcZM
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJ6JE2yxrJ
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vUt0UuAyk
And the people… just watched.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5uEpRgY5O
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY80ychIdZs
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTQjftP6rQ
Not outrage. Not horror.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kxZlMV8w1
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgjRdQRWoA
Just detached curiosity.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRM11ZxNw9
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyieYWV5rwi
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaDCqSIsyS
I wanted to scream again, but all that came out was a small, cracked laugh.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbUiQEAaa2
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEHUZv5EYt
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8cdVN8xvO
> “Cool,” I muttered under my breath.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qeIDflX7r
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJzRuTsNHz
“Confessed to royal murder and everyone’s like—‘oh, sibling drama, how quaint.’ Totally fine. Completely normal Tuesday.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKtbz1DURe
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEbZVQwbMH
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUstUodVKh
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0AUyfjKL5
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNrK1smyi9
The boy’s eyes found mine then.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcmKktvgvj
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TPqIfKew5
Blue. Cold. Still.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9EOjRpo2w
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetgAZ8LJ2O
No anger. No confusion.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43lu3S7R81
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlHXY3S1WV
Just that same, knowing silence.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvklM7C3U1
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnJ4QGylse
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQ011JZPgi
And then he turned.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUZ5N8wW0f
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdLhzfjOYf
Walked away.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YbeVrJJDK
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92HNTstGeb
Free.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa2xPwFJT0
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8yhMKEu5W
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIyxcurnhD
Leaving me there—153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVTCgJ3WAY
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgxl4wHBmP
alone, surrounded by murmurs,153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggcoeMWlts
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F84P2IRlt
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 protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGFmSAatfS 尼
