But Aelin could not defeat them. There was only one person who could. Elide’s eyes landed on Yrene, the healer’s face ashen as she watched Aelin. The queen would never ask. Never ask that of them, of Yrene. But she might leave a path open. Should they, should Yrene, wish to take it. Noticing her stare, Yrene tore her attention away from the battle. “What?” Elide looked to Lysandra. Then to the city walls, to the flash of ice and flame along them. She saw what they had to do.
Of course these smart ladies figured it out! I however am clearly not that smart bc I still have no idea what they plan to do 🤣
