Chapter 20
Around us, the girls were speaking with each other and the royal family. Only Nicholas, Susie, and myself were silent. The King gave Nicholas a hard look, and Nicholas’s lips twitched like he wanted to frown but didn’t. I thought he might talk to me, but instead, he leaned forward to see Susie a
Chapter 21
After receiving Susie’s news, I needed a moment to catch my breath. I didn’t understand. The royal doctor had already examined Elva, as recently as the day before. How could she have a fever again? Wouldn’t the doctor have detected any anomalies before they fully formed? Those questions would have
