KAZIER
My brother.
Of course.
"Chezarei." Father repeats, voice cold. "Tell me again. What did you see last night?"
I stare up at him, my entire body tense. My hands are bound behind my back, and I'm on the ground with my knees. River is next to me, his head hung low. His light hair falls in front of his eyes.
My brother gives me a smirk.
"Father, I saw Kazier leave towards the Western border of the Elven Forests." He says. "So I followed him. Because I remember how angry you had been with him in the past."
Bastard.
My teeth bare, jaw flexing so tightly I feel that I might tear the skin. How much had he seen?
River, as well?
Rinei?
"I saw him with an outsider."
My father bursts up to his feet. The room is empty, except for the four of us. And I hear his steps approach me quick
