"He confirmed his attendance this morning with Damian. Everything's going according to plan." I swallow hard, the weight of what's to csettling heavily on my shoulders. "Good," I say, though the word feels hollow. "Let's just hope it stays that way." Soren squeezes my waist gently, offering silent reassurance. "It will. We'll handle it.

"We'll be fine. Nothing will happen, and if it does, you protect the future of this kingdom, you protect Max." I tell Damian and he mumbles something but gives in, and I can't wait to tell Max.
