THE OBSIDIAN PALACE, EVERLAST CITY, PRESENT
she wasn’t even fucking here, and Lonnie Skyeborne’s loathsome
presence was ruining my life.
Like a virus, she’d seeped into every aspect of this castle, waging silent war
on everything she touched: the monarchy, my family, my tower; she’d even
tainted this damn room.
In another life, I might have held council meetings in this room, but not
now. Now, I sat, nearly catatonic, staring down at the gleaming black steps
that led to the obsidian throne. It was the throne that had once belonged to
my grandmother and should now belong to me; the throne that, like so
much else, remained just out of reach; the throne that Lonnie Skyborne
ruined with her mere existence.
By the Source, if this was how my legacy was to end, I only hoped history
did me the kindness of forgetting my name altogether.
“How is she?” Gwydion’s voice rang hollowly through the echo-filled
room.
My head lurched up so quickly that the bones in my neck cracked. “What’s
that supposed to mean?”
“How’s Lonnie doing?” Gwydion repeated at twice the volume. “What else
would I mean? If we can’t be there to watch, we may as well get updates.”
I growled low in my throat, unable to find the words to express my
frustration. Now, she was ruining my cousins, too, and every infernal
conversation.
Gwydion, tall, curly-haired, and muscular, rested on a bench against the farright wall, absentmindedly oiling the silver blade of his sword. His brother,
Bael, paced up and down the long, cavernous room, exhibiting every bit of
agitation that I felt. Their sister, Aine, lay on the floor to my left, staring up
at the ceiling, so still she could have been sleeping.
“Does it fucking matter how she’s doing?” I snapped.
Gwydion chuckled, ignoring my challenging glare. “Yes, actually, it does
matter. Unless you want to start over with a new queen.”
“Or king,” Aine muttered, her eyes still closed.
“It’s irrelevant,” I barked. “That’s not going to happen. She’s fine.”
She’d better be fine, after all the threats I’d made to keep her so.
Bael made a derisive noise in the back of his throat as he paced by me at top
speed. “You sound quite certain.”
I ignored him—anything I said would only start another argument. In any
case, I was certain that Lonnie would survive the hunts for two reasons,
neither of which I was happy about.
First, unbeknownst to my family, I’d sent my pet raven, Quill, to watch her.
He was circling the quarry now, and should something happen, I would
know. Second, it was only days ago that I’d murdered a group of bandits
who’d snuck onto our grounds to attack her. I’d spared one, only to make
sure he spread word far and wide that the queen was not to be touched. I
wasn’t yet sure what I wanted to do with her, but until I decided, no one
hurt Lonnie Skyborne. She belonged to us, and if anyone was going to kill
her, it was damn well going to be me.
