Gaspard’s hatred foras we run through the tunnels that lead right into the Kings‘ Mansion is obvious.
He hatesas much as | fucking hate him. | wonder how they thought a team made of people who detest one

| slowly let the tbomb | had hidden roll to the ground making sure it made no sound as we continue walking.
It'll go off when he sends the four squads this way.

thoroughly, but they never discovered the secret passage...

Where is Dad?
“You care too much for the traitors.” He says quietly. | ignore him as we silently make our way down the stairs

They had givena low dose of wolfsbane, and | had a feeling they would. They still don’t trustand Gerard
had tried to mind link a few minutes after | had drunk the juice.
| had kept my walls up, pretending | had heard nothing. A small amount of wolfsbane won't work on me, but they
didn’t need to know that.
Even in training, no matter how good | was, | never gave it everything | had, making sure they underestimated
me.
‘Zaia?' | try to connect to her through the mind link. It’s more draining than usual, but not impossible.
Saying her nhurts... Almost like | don’t fucking deserve to...
‘Zaia, can you hear me?”
