ENEMY AT THE GATESBeing the fiancee of a prince hasn't been easy for Liddy. While she and Freed managed to avoid a disastrous situation at the Victory Celebration ball, more danger is on the horizon. Maximilian, the crown prince of the neighboring Kingdom of Sahaja, is coming to Wilhelm, and tensions are high. The official reason for his visit is to congratulate the happy couple on their engagement--but what is he really after?
Liddy still can't seem to find the words or admit to herself, but it's clear as day to everyone else when she talks about Freed, let alone when the two of them are together. It's probably lucky Freed doesn't seem to know she spent the afternoon with Will when she didn't have lessons given how jealous he is, but he also does seem to genuinely want her to be happy, even if that is with another guy. Prince Maximillian and his father seem to be trouble, and possibly this other assassin, though he seems to be more interested in Cain thinking the two of them are similar than anything else. It seems Liddy may need to figure out how to introduce Cain and Freed sooner rather than later if she's to hope they can share information. It might also be a relief that she has that extra protection, even though Freed is likely to get jealous all over again.
