CASSANDRA

It wasn’t a joke.

I knew it in my bones

Raven’s expression had given it away the moment she’d been caught.

The storm clouds that had plagued my mind felt as if they’d cleared away, and the puzzle pieces felt as if they’d been pu together.

Mind control.

Sorcery.

Weapon.

That’s what Kaleb wanted, to turn the poor, diseased people into his weapon. Though it sounded utterly insane, this speculation seemed more plausible as Raven fidgeted and kept telling me what she had told me wasn’t a fact.

“I shouldn’t make jokes like that,” she said, her tone jittery and nervous. “Roxy would kill me if she’d heard that.”

The dark-haired sorceress offered me a dry smile, and for a moment, I debated on pestering her further, but instead, I decided to bide my time. It was best to go along with things for my safety, so 1 offered Raven a smile back.

“Don’t worry,” I assured her warmly. “I know you were kidding, Raven.”

She nodded and seemed to soften up a bit. “If you want to know more about the research, Cassandra, you could ask Kaleb Without his permission, I’m afraid I can’t share very much with you.”

I wanted to laugh but forced myself to keep a straight face. As if merely asking the king of Yurene would be enough for him to let me know what he was doing here in this prison tower. Surely, Raven thought we were far closer than we were, or else she would know better than to suggest something like that.

Raven fell completely silent and began to take my blood. I cooperated well and didn’t fidget, though my mind ran in circles the entire time. Once she finished, she placed the tube of blood in a device I’d never seen before. It was both technologically advanced and a little archaic, and I wanted to ask what it was or what its function was, but I knew how that would go.
