Sylvester’s movements woke me up from sleep.

I heard him talking to someone in the closet on the phone, and I wondered what the matter was.

I must have been asleep for hours.

After winning the votes to be king, all the tension that built up dissipated, leaving me tired and in need of rest.

I was feeling refreshed, but Kaira could feel Knight’s uneasiness which meant Sylvester had learned something disturbing or something had gone wrong.

I braced myself for the worst and waited for him to come out.

He finally exited the closet and joined me in the bed.

Though he seemed relaxed, he felt nervous.

His gestures could not fool me.

I felt Knight’s turmoil, and I knew something was wrong.

I wondered what he must have learned that would cause him to behave like this.

I looked at his dark eyes and smiled.

“Your majesty,” I teased, and he smiled at me.

“Oh, Tamia,” he said, and I knew it was serious because he did not call me green-eyes.

“Amanda was our link to the king,” he said, and I sat up in shock.

“Elaborate,” I said, and he sighed.

“Ramsey told us everything.

Leo was there.

How she recruited him, how they used Leo, how they planned that you and Leo would die.

It’s a mess, Tamia, but she planned it all and those babies aren’t Leo’s.

They belong to Jenny’s son because she claimed her lover, who is the king, is a Volkov,” he said, and I gasped.

I felt terrible for Leo because he did not deserve that degree of deception.

“Yes, and that is why we would have the Kappa arrest her,” he said, and I shook my head.

I knew everyone was angry, and emotions were running high.

But we had to be smart about it.

I had someone watching her quite alright, and that meant our cause wasn’t hopeless, and she had not gotten away, but we had to be wise.

“I do not think that is wise.

Let her believe she has fooled all of us and gotten away with it.

Let us watch her so she can lead us to the king.

She is still a pawn in this.

Whether she is his bitch or not, it doesn’t matter.

she is replaceable, but if we catch him, we will end the threat,” I told him, and he nodded, understanding my point of view.

“So you think we should just watch her?” he asked, and I nodded.

“Yes.

She will not go to him immediately because we have her father in our custody.

We have to make her believe that we have lost her and she is free.

She is bound to visit the king, and then we will catch them.
