I wasn’t sure what kind of game Kaleb was playing, but from the moment I agreed to hear his story, his mocking and arrogant demeanor shifted to that of a much kinder gentleman. It was as if he slipped his old mask back on and was the strange yet charming foreign king I’d first encountered in the market of Anemond.

As we walked back to Merliscire, he walked alongside me, and his guards lingered about ten feet back to give us some privacy. While my guard was still up around the trio from Yurene, I had a strong feeling that Kaleb was behaving somewhat genuinely.

When we finally reached the palace, my heart began to race in anticipation, but then the king turned to me and cleared his throat.

“Before we get on with this, I will take you to see Erika and Finnick,” he announced, and he gestured to the corridor before us. “So you know that I am being true to my word.”

My lips parted in surprise and my voice caught in my throat, so I simply nodded in response.

He then led me to a door at the end of the corridor, which was flanked by a few tall, muscular guards. They bowed to Kaleb in respect and after he flicked his hand, they parted and allowed us to enter the room.

I steeled myself for a terrible sight, but much to my surprise, Erika and Finnick were seated on a large, plush couch. The curtains were drawn open and sunlight flooded the room.

“Mommy!” Finnick exclaimed happily and he rushed over to me and threw his arms around me. “Mommy, you’re okay!”

I intercepted him gladly and drew him close. “Hi, baby. Yes, I’m okay. Are you alright?”

We stood there for a moment and then Finnick pulled away.

“We’re okay,” he said with a nod, and his gray eyes were serious as they stared into mine. “Auntie Erika and I have been sitting on this nice couch. She’s been telling me stories.”

replied, and I shot a grateful expression toward Erika. The maid sent me one of her own and then I turned back to Finnick. “Finnick, I have some things I have to do, but I’ll see you really soon, alright? Be good for
