Everyn's POV:
Days passed, the next was busier than the last. People started flooding the crystal palace despite the weather growing worse, colder, meaner. Kings and queens had come from afar to bow their heads in front of me, while I had to run around and learn everything there needed to be known, from etiquette, politics, history and so much more. Even diplomacy classes, since Cassian was afraid I might slip in front of people I was not allowed to.
And truly, at the end of the day I am not sure if it was the cold that had creeped into my bones, or if it was just the tiredness, but I fall flat on my face and slept like a log through the night. Cassian and Cyro were both keeping their distance. Even if I could see it in their eyes, that they hungered and lusted for me just like before.
