As I decided, I did not go for my combat lessons the next day. I woke up early as I always did but I did not leave my chambers even though everything in me was telling me to go and learn how to defend myself. But the Queen’s words kept ringing in my mind. She would kill me if she found me with her son. And I had to go and save my sister. I couldn’t die now.
I didn’t understand why everybody was so adamant killing me. Would killing me really solve the world’s problems? But then I should never have been born, or my parents should’ve killed me soon after my birth.
After having breakfast I decided to read some more of the texts Arkin sent me. I could feel the sun beginning to rise and guilt stabbed my heart with the knowledge that Arkin was probably waiting for me and I refused to show up.
