Arren pulled the hood of her robe to cover her face, not letting even an inch of her skin show. Tonight would be the night she would show her loyalty to the Crow clan. She may have been working for the Ivory clan for the last twenty years, but that was only because she was too scared to escape.
She wasn’t really a prisoner, so technically, she didn’t have to escape. King Nero had been so nice to her. So accepting. He made it clear to her numerous times that she could leave anytime she wants. That she could even return to the Crow clan if she wanted to. But really, even if King Nero himself gave her permission to go back to her old clan, she couldn’t leave because she knew that creepy soldier Thyone would be waiting for her outside the Ivory clan’s walls.
Arren took a deep breath
