Chapter 182

Violet

Walking the palace halls alongside the queen was not something I had expected to be doing within the first hour, yet here we were.

As always, I tried not to overthink, but it was of no use. My brain was already working overtime.

What would the king want from Kylan?

Was this a joint effort to keep us apart?

Why was the queen being kind to me?

Where was she taking me?

She had not said a word since we had entered the palace, and the only sounds filling the halls were the soft taps of her heels against the marble floor. Despite all the things he had said about the queen, Kylan had just let me go with her.

There was no fight, not even a second thought. That had to mean something.
