“Quick, sit down while I try to take care of your hand,” Dustin said, dragging a cut in half wine barrel over. He flipped it, so I could sit on it. The other guard growled at him before gripping his shoulder.

“They lie with my King,”

“You haven’t been here as long as the rest of us, but the King swore us all to choose his Queen over him,”
