Amyra had just returned to the academy from the palace today.
Her steps were light as she walked through the academy grounds toward the garden—the place she always met Kyun.
It was time for their daily meeting.
What is he doing right now?
She thought about Alden, her lips curving up.
Will he be there with Kyun…?
…How wonderful that would be.
The banquet two nights ago had shaken her slightly. She didn't expect him to say that name so suddenly.
But she wasn't the type to break that easily.
At least he remembered the name.
That was a start.
She stepped into the clearing—
And the smile on her face vanished.
Kyun was lying on the ground. Her little body was trembling and one of her wings was broken.
Standing over her… was a familiar boy.
Similar white hair and violet eyes.
Her twin brother, Lucien was holding a glowing scroll and walking towards Kyun.

Amyra's vision narrowed. Something inside her snapped.
