I am a twig. He’s an oak tree.

“No, because without his crown, King Joon will be mortal.” Royo’s brow wrinkles. “Joon isn’t a god?” I can’t help it—I scrunch my face. “No.”

“Null,” Mikail whispers. My eyes widen, and my stomach turns. It means zero. Zero witnesses, zero survivors. With that one word, I know he’s about to slaughter them all. Any safety from running was an illusion.

NULL....

the prince I knew never would’ve given his life for mine. But Euyn offered it to the gods tonight.

A prince they wanted to kill...whyyyy

We’ve been on this boat since yesterday afternoon, and she got bored by about nine bells last night. I have not known peace since. She is the most insistent, irritating person I’ve ever met.

“You set up your own son,” Mikail says. “Your soul will never be redeemed.”

“You have all colluded to steal a royal courtesan,” I say, raising my voice. “An attack on the king’s property is an attack on the king himself. I judge you all guilty. Flee now, except you and you.” I point to the father and daughter.

I fight with my glorified butter knife, but I might as well bludgeon him to death with the handle.

Soo extra lol

“Stop it,” he says. But then he laughs. Actually laughs. And good gods…that’s an incredible sound.

“Would you spend forever with me?”
