I flip through the pages without reading them. Watching silently as they flip and pictures flash by along with unidentifiable words. The fading sun casts shadows across my desk but I pay no mind to it. It's been a week.

"Your highness, the Queen is calling for you. She says it's urgent."

I sigh and let the book fall shut.

"Okay."

I walk past the servant and down the hall towards the throne room.

"Mother?"

My mother turns and glares down at me.

"I don't want to hear a word from you."

She grabs my wrist and pulls me after her.

"Wha-"

"Silence! If you've been sneaking behind my back there will be serious consequences."

She drags me out the front of the castle and shoves me towards a carriage.

"In."

"Where are we going?"

"The border. It's time we had a talk."


(Ah, shit. When you get caught sneaking around.)
