I know youโll be a good Queen, a strong, noble leader, and thatโs more than these people deserve,โ she said. โBut donโt give too much. You need to keep some of yourself for you. And listen to your heart.
Amanda HockingI havenโt prepared my speech yet,โ I sighed and Tove stood up. โWhat should I say about him?โ โWell, if you plan to say anything nice, youโre going to have to lie,โ Tove muttered as he walked over to his closet.
Amanda HockingThis was good, except that now I had two crazed, burning zombies standing between me and the exit, plus another one that wasnโt on fire. I had not thought this plan through at all.
Amanda HockingDonโt.โ I walked up to him. โIf it ever comes down to a situation between me and you, save yourself. Iโm not worth dying for.โ โPrincess, I-โ โNone of us are,โ I said, looking at him seriously. โNot the Queen or any of the Markis or Marksinna. Thatโs a direct order from the Princess, and you have to follow it. Save yourself.โ โI donโt understand.โ Duncanโs whole face scrunched in confusion. โButโฆ if itโs as you wish, Princess.โ โIt is. Thank you,โ I smiled at him and walked into the palace.
