“Shed made sure it said everything her brother and sister needed to know […] Mother is dead. Im on my way to Vallenia. Its time to reclaim our kingdom. […] Kiva Meridan. Born as Kiva Corentine. The Rebel Queen may have perished at Zalindov but her daughter was alice and well, free of Zalindov after ten long years. The Rebel Princess was finally ready to rise.”

I KNEW IT I KNEW IT

“And wed live with you at the castle?” Jaren nodded. 😼

Page 397- Mots sacrifice:
“Kivas heart clutched at his words. Not at gis threat but because he hadnt said anything about going with them. “Mot…” “get out ‘ere Kiva luv” Mot said his gaze softening as he looked her way then settled on Tipp in her arms. “Give ‘im a good life yeah? Yeh both deserve to find ‘appiness.”
😭😭💔

“Then why didnt you leave?” His blue-gold gaze locked on hers. “Because i found a reason to stay.” “Youre a fool” she said her voice barely a whisper.

“Either way her heart was beating almost out of her chest at his proximity at how good it felt to be in his arms even while she warred over everything she knew about him about herself. […] melting into him and closing her eyes […]”

“Jaren wasnt a prisoner—he was a Vallentis. And not just any Vallentis. Hes quite taken with you. […] shed been talking about her brother—her real brother—who had been wearing a dirty tunic and standing in the crowd. […] the real Prince Deverick—it was Jaren.”

“Naaris gaze was steady on hers. “Im Jaren’s Golden Shield. […] highest position of honor for s guard.”

I KNEW IT JARENS A PRINCE

“The prisoners were being poisoned. No not js poisoned. Executed. It was deliberate. And it came from the top. From Warden Rooke himself.”

“A few weeks ago she never would have had the courage to even ask but somehow Naari had become one of the people Kiva trusted the most in the world.”

“Jaren didnt have an amulet. Jaren didnt need an amulet. Because Jaren had elemental magic.” (After he saves her at the third Ordeal)

“But she also had no idea how to reverse that, how to put a stopper in the friendship that was somehow forming between them. Worse she didnt know if she wanted to.” Naari and Kiva

“Naari chuckled “someones been cooped up for too long.” […] “i was perfectly fine yesterday.” The guards reply was dry. “Yes you were the picture of health when you got out of bed snd fell flat on your face.”

“Kiva threw over her shoulder as she walked away not allowing him to see her smile. Naari caught it through her amber eyes sparkling as she took the ladle from Jaren and told him “Why dont you help Kiva” Matchmaker Naari 😭

“shed slept wrapped in him his warmth and strength surrounding her all night keeping her safe and protected in her own Jaren cocoon. The memories brought warm to Kivas cheeks.”

“They were doomed to fail before they even started. And yet despite what her mind was telling her despite all the rules she had carefully maintained for years when he inched forward Kiva didnt stop him. […] “Kiva” he whispered his breath touching her lips. A shiver ran down her spine her eyes drifting shut as one of his hands trailed through her hair before coming to a rest at the base of her neck.”

“But then her legs gave out. […] And Jaren. It was the last who reached her first and before Kiva knew what was happening he swept her into his arms”
