PRINCESS EMERIEL

Three days later.

After morning training, Emeriel freshened up quickly before making her way to the breakfast table.

Her muscles still ached, but she welcomed the burn. it was the only thing that felt real these days.

The large wooden doors creaked as she entered the dining hall. Ackeira was the only one seated, sipping from her cup.

"You're here, Em, take a seat," Aekeira said warmly, gesturing to the chair beside her.

Emeriel's jaw clenched, resisting the urge to lash out. It wasn't Ackeira's fault that the name she'd called her all her life now stirred memories of slavery and Urai.

"Where is the king and Daviel?" Emeriel asked in a clipped voice as she sank into the seat.

"The king had an early court session, I think. And the prince?" Ackeira gaye a half-hearted shrug, "he's probably still in bed."

They ate in silence. The food tasted like sawdust, but Emeriel forced herself to swallow. Everything tasted like ash these days.

As they were about to leave, the door opened. King Orestus strode in, his guards flanking him.

"Is everything alright, Your Majesty?" Aekeira inquired, her brow furrowed.

The king hesitated. His hand twitched at his side as he looked at Emeriel before shifting his gaze to Aekeira.

The tyrant king ruled with an iron fist, he rarely looked this... anxious. Something was wrong.

"Emeriel, Aekeira," he cleared his throat, "I hope you weren't... uh.. upset about, you know, what happened in my study the other day?"

"About the letters?" Aekeira was bewildered.

"No, not the letters." Orestus shifted awkwardly. "The part where lost my... um... temper. I want to apologize for that. About... saying I would crucify you for the secrets you hide... I didn't mean it." Emeriel's patience snapped. "Okay, what the hell is going on?"
