She\u2019d come around. \u201cI don\u2019t know, Batrice. I hate to tell you this, but a king doesn\u2019t always know the right answer.\u201d Thad picked up another cookie. \u201cCan I ask why you don\u2019t tell her?\u201d I ran a hand through my hair again. \u201cShe\u2019s so mad about Ellie even being here. I don\u2019t want to give her one more reason to hate her. Also, I\u2026 I worry about the emotions I see on her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thad popped the rest of the cookie in his mouth. \u201cIs there a chance she\u2019d see the good Ellie\u2019s done and forgive her for being descended from The Usurper?\u201d \u201cI just don\u2019t know. Maybe, but\u2014it\u2019s like Batrice said. Maisey has been mad before, and she\u2019s stayed mad for a very long time.\u201d I checked on Ellie, glad to see her chest rising and falling like normal. \u201cBut there are some things I do know. Ellie is one of the best people I\u2019ve ever met.<\/p>\n<p>She hasn\u2019t done anything to deserve Maisey\u2019s hatred, and I\u2019ll shield her from it as much as I can.\u201d Thad nodded, and then tipped his head toward the door. \u201cSo\u2026 what are you going to tell them?\u201d \u201cWhat are you going to tell who?\u201d a groggy Ellie asked with her eyes still closed.<\/p>\n<p>I rushed to her side, relieved to see her conscious so soon. \u201cYou\u2019re awake,\u201d I breathed. \u201cHow do you feel?\u201d \u201cTired,\u201d she answered, blinking her eyes open. Her voice grew stronger with each word. \u201cBut I don\u2019t think I\u2019ll fall asleep standing up now.\u201d I offered her a hand for support as she sat up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t even try standing until you eat first.\u201d Thad and Pal both offered her a plate, and she took Pal\u2019s. Thad raised a brow in false shock. \u201cToo good for my food tonight?\u201d Ellie lifted her chosen plate up for him to see it. \u201cThis one has more cookies on it.\u201d \u201cAh,\u201d Thad said, sighing dramatically. \u201cMy weakness in dealing with Deryk\u2019s ornery sister.<\/p>\n<p>She drove me to steal your food.\u201d Ellie chuckled. \u201cIt\u2019s fine.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>No part of this publication may be reproduced, distributed, or transmitted in any form or by any means, including photocopying, recording, or other electronic or mechanical methods, without the prior written permission of the publisher, except as permitted by U.S. copyright law.
