“You weren’t avoiding me because I didn’t do what you told me to do?”He studies me. “Do you really take me for that kind of guy?”“No.”“Good, because I want you to have a mind of your own. Yeah, I’d like to think you value my opinion enough to consider it, but that wasn’t what bothered me.”“I wasn’t trying to push you away. It was too much for me to process, and I couldn’t bring myself to say it out loud. Do you know what it was like to be at my dad’s funeral after killing him, to have my mom and uncle make their grand entrance like two lovebirds? I didn’t even know she was back in Valora! I guess she was too busy making out with her lover to tell me.”“Or maybe she just arrived moments earlier, and they just wanted to surprise you.”I chew on my lower lip before responding. “No. I’m certain they wanted to stick it to my dad and Walker. That’s what it was about. I’ll bet if Tobi couldn’t have done that, he wouldn’t have allowed the funeral. He says it was for my sake, but I have to

For now.” I frown. “I really messed up.”He doesn’t deny it.“What am I supposed to do now?”“Lay low until people forget.”“You think they’re just going to forget?”“There you are!” Tobi appears around the corner, her hands on her hips.I groan. “What do you want?”“What do I want?” She swims over. “You left a hole in the dorm after trying to kill a student!”“I wasn’t trying to kill her.”“What were you trying to do?” she demands.“Shut her up.”Tobi scowls. “That doesn’t help your cause.”“She was trying to get me to react! I fell right into her trap.”“You’re saying she wanted you to kill her? I suppose next you’re going to tell me that’s what your father wanted too?”That last part is like a punch to the gut. I can’t respond.She glowers at me. “Not that it matters. If the rumors are true, your real father wants you at the castle immediately. There’s a car waiting for you out front.”My stomach drops to the floor.He already knows that I spilled the beans?My heart nearly explode

They turn back to me and Tobi speaks. “We’re going to announce our engagement to Valora, and we’d like you to be with us. I’ll confirm the rumors so everyone can calm down and focus on the wedding instead. I know you don’t want to be in the spotlight.”Relief washes through me. Not only am I not getting in trouble for my incident, but everyone’s gossip will be focused on the upcoming wedding rather than me. “That sounds great.”“Perfect.” Tobi grins. “Would you like to change into a gown?”I give him a double-take. “You’re going to do the announcement now?”“As soon as you’re ready.”“But I have to get back to the academy and study.”“I’ll excuse you from your assignments. One of the benefits of being king.” He winks.Before I can reply, someone bows in front of me. It’s the same servant who helped me the first day I arrived. The one I called Sally because she wouldn’t tell me her actual name. “To your room, my lady.”I don’t bother telling her to call me by my name. I suppose I’ve re

As soon as the curtain closes behind us, I glare at my father. Now that he’s pulled this ridiculous stunt, it’s not difficult to think of him as a dad. “Why did you do that?”“Tell you about the trials in front of everyone?”“WhatHe glances at the servants in the room and waves them out before turning to me. “I thought you’d be excited. You aren’t?”I stare at him, trying to find the words. “You thought I’d be excited?”“We were discussing the Mrs Walker link before I brought your mother back from land. It sounded like you were on board. Has that changed?”My heart pounds like a jackhammer. “About going through a set of trials?”“This is good news.”“How?”He puts a hand on my shoulder and looks into my eyes. “You can come into Sirena’s full powers.”I take a deep breath. “How much do you know about how she got those?”“Like I said, I’ve gathered every book I could find on the topic—and it wasn’t easy. Some of them were from opposing kingdoms in secret libraries and even in vaults.”

He glances up. “Oh. Hey, Mila.Isaac isn’t here, but I guess you can see that.”“That’s okay. I’m here to see you.”Mila’s mum sets his guitar down. “Why’s that?”“You know that cloaking spell?”He groans. “I can’t keep doing that.”“It’s just one more time.” I clasp my hands together. “Please.”“For what?” He frowns.“Same thing. I just need to look at a certain book in the library.”Mila’s mum glances around. “Last time, I could do it because I needed to practice the spell for a class. Now, I’m just breaking the rules.”My heart sinks. “There’s nothing you can do?”“What’s so important about this book?”“It’s a long story, but it can help me figure out this Mrs Walker stuff.”His eyes widen. “So crazy about your uncle—I mean dad.”“Tell me about it. That’s why I need answers. And it gets weirder, but I can’t really get into it right now. I have to find out what that book says.”He taps his finger on the guitar. “So, it’s kind of a matter of life and death?”“It definitely is.”Mila’s

I take a few deep breaths before looking over the titles again. Expand the breadth of my search. Double-check that I’m at the right row. Look up and down adjoining aisles.Nothing. The book isn’t here.Why in Hades is it gone? My heart pounds like a jackhammer, making it even harder to think. I check the time. I’m down to ten minutes before the spell wears off and I have to be out of here. Heir of the throne or not, I’m not a fourth-year. I can’t be seen here.I race up and down each aisle, scanning the books. Look at the tables to see if anyone brought it out and left it.Still nothing. It’s nowhere.Am I imagining having found it in the first place? No, that’s not possible. Isaac was here with me, and he was insistent that I wouldn’t have to kill my dad. He saw the book too. It’s not something I made up.I glance at the clock. Three minutes. And that’s assuming the spell will last exactly one hour. It could wear off two minutes early or five minutes late. I have no idea, and Mila’s

Did she really have to kill her dad? Or did I get bad information?”Oh, she most definitely killed the merman.I sigh.Mr. Brant turns around. “What are you waiting for? Put that thing awayThe trident flies out of my hands and straight for his head.I gasp. “That wasn’t me! I swear!”He moves, barely missing, and glowers at me. “Make that four sessions for tomorrow. And that’s no recommendation.”“It wasn’t me!”The anger in his eyes tells me not to press the issue.“Don’t try that again, or you will regret it. I don’t care whose daughter you are or if you are heir to the throne.”I just nod then pick up my weapon. “Thanks for that.”He had it coming.“Well, I didn’t. I don’t feel like getting in trouble.”“Put it away now, princess,” Mr. Brant snaps.I hurry over to the cabinet and place it in its spot. “We’re not done here.”I know. Just wait until you hear what I have to tell you.It glows then fades.“Now, Mila.” Mr. Brant sounds more pissed by the moment.I close the cabinet and

Ten minutes later, we’re entering the dining hall.Isaac glances up from his seat and melts me with his eyes. I turn to Erica. “Mind if I sit with Isaac this time?”“Not at all. Go get him, tiger fish.” She nudges me toward him and swims away.Before I reach him, he leaps up and wraps his arms around me, squeezing tightly. I take in the warmth of his embrace and his rugged scent. If only I could stay here for all time and not have to deal with anything else. Unfortunately, he pulls away all too soon. But he does hold out a chair for me.I take the seat and greet the rest of the band. Mila’s mother throws me a curious look, clearly wanting to know how the timing spell worked with the cloaking one. I give him a nod. My mission may have been less than successful, but the spells did what they were supposed to.Isaac sits and offers me a donut. I take it, eager for the sugar fix after everything I’ve been through, and scarf it down while everyone else discusses an upcoming concert.“You go
