Chapter 23 Fall Into The Pond

Tanya’s POV:

I stumble out of the palace and into the gardens, feeling tired and mildly nauseous. I make my way to the edge of a large pond, focusing on the sight of starlight glistening on the surface of the dark water. Someone approaches me, and I wince when I realize Ayana and Lily join by the pond, ruining any chance at peace and quiet.

Not here. Not now. It’s been a long night, and I’m in no mood to be tormented further. The King’s voice still rings in my ears; the secret of Marco’s sitting heavy in my heart. Not to mention the crushing sorrow of everything I saw in Marco’s old room. The way Lily smiles at me so innocently makes my skin crawl.

“I just needed a moment alone and some fresh air,” I say softly. I don’t have the energy for any more drama. I just want to hide from all of this and rest for a while.

“Well, I’m amazed you’re still in the palace at all,” Ayana says, with none of Lily’s f*orc*ed politeness. “It’s not like anyone wants you here.”

I don’t answer. The last thing I want is to get involved in some kind of confrontation with her.
