Once Kaleb left my chambers, I crawled back into bed and stared up at the ceiling. My fever was lessening by the moment, but I was feeling all sorts of awful, not to mention downright tired.
The king of Yurene had given me an emotionally charged speech, but I couldn’t help but ponder the authenticity of his words. Kaleb had always been kind to me and didn’t have any reason to lie to my face, but I knew better than to accept. someone’s statements blindly.
Despite his explanation, I didn’t understand why he wanted me specifically to help treat his ailing father.

“What’s happening?” I asked as I tried to catch my breath.
“A snake pit has been found, my lady,” the guard explained, and then he gestured toward the door. “I need you to come with me. A few guards were attacked by the vipers within and they need treatment immediately.”
