Aria “Let me out!” I screamed at the stone-faced palace guard but he refused to budge. Serene and I had been locked up in this room for hours and I was beginning to lose my mind. A couple of hours ago, Serene and I were talking over tea when we suddenly heard screams and shouts all over the palace. We ran out into the hallway and I swear, I had never seen so much chaos and pandemonium in my life. My body collided with a lot of running maidservants and I had to flatten myself against the wall to stop getting hit. Serene grabbed one of the guards and asked what was going on and our breaths got caught in our throats at the news. The palace was invaded by rogues! My first instinct was to find Lyall and I was so lost in the commotion around me, that I didn't see the King's elite guards walk
