Holly This shouldn't have happened. This is not the happy future that I was promised. He should have been here. He was supposed to sit on this throne. Not me. I'm not cut out for this. I'm not good for anything. He says I am a queen. He even gave me the keys to the castle, but what is a queen without her king? Still a queen. I have nowhere to hide. Nowhere to run. This is my kingdom. His kingdom. And I'll do whatever it takes to make sure it stands when he returns. Because believing that he won't come back is not an option. Theo She doesn't know it, but I'm looking out for her. I help where I can. Every fiber of my being wants to rush back through those doors and wrap her in my arms. But the only thing stopping me... is her. Because I will put her safety above all else. They want to believe that I am dead. They want to take over the castle. To take away what my family has gained over generations on this throne. Let them try. Like so many others, they will fail. I may not be with her, but I have eyes and ears all over the city. I left my kingdom in good hands. They will underestimate her, my small and humble queen, but this will be their death. She may seem quiet, weak. But I know her soul better than she does herself. If anyone can rule in my absence, it's her.
