The endless buzzing will haunt my dreams. After twenty-three
hours of hearing it, feeling it reverberate through my soul as it

I check my watch and shift around, trying to find a more comfortable
position. The stone throne I am sitting on has not warmed during the hours
I’ve been occupying it. It’s cleaved directly from the stone of the
Underworld—my own domain—but it doesn’t soften, not even for me, its
queen. This seat is largely ceremonial, and I can only consider that having
me use it is another way to punish me. Always tit for tat.
Posey was the one who insisted that if I’m going to cling to the idea that
I’m still Queen of the Underworld, then I should sit on my throne. She also
did not want me to wear my crown.

Underworld, but not. Citizens still address me as the queen I was, but Posey
is adamant that until I am wed to Galen, I am not actually queen.
When I proposed the Trials, I thought I was buying myself and Essos
time to find a way out of this situation I was manipulated into, but we’re
only one month past the Calling Ball, and I’m regretting asking for six
months. The situation hangs over me like an anvil, with no guaranteed way
out.
When the details of the Trials were first discussed, I pushed back…
“I G to win a majority of the Trials, I believe the vote
of no confidence should be canceled,” I argue.
Posey elected herself head planner for the Trials without resistance.
Helene is already mad at me for having to play referee between Galen and
me on a daily basis. Xavier didn’
