"What?" she was stunned. "But he's currently in Silver Kingdom, dealing with something important…"
"Really?" I sighed in relief. "I'm sorry, I won't be able to come to your coronation."
She burst into laughter. "Don't bother saying that. I'll send someone to bundle you here."
I blinked in disbelief. "What? You know I can't come."
"Not my business, sister. You're my sister and you must be there."
"Wait… isn't Ethan coming too?"
"Of course he will. Thomas isn't an ordinary king. I found out this morning, his position is the same as Elijah's…"
I placed my hand on my forehead and sat on the nearby couch, staring at the cake. "I can't come, please. I'll come after the coronation…"
"But the queen will be there."
"It's a masquerade party. I suggested it because of you. And I know a professional disguiseer, she'll take care of you."
I took a deep breath. "I suddenly have a bad feeling… what if Ethan sees me?"
