Trust was a liberty that as Kumari, Bae could not afford, especially after the murder of Bae’s mother, the late Kumari.

The Kumari bloodline had to continue regardless of the cost, even if it was the life of someone she loved.

With them, she still might not win, but alone she would definitely fail.

Kumari's Kitsune

Waking in Armel's arms the next morning, Bae thought back to her afternoon with Prince Caspet. He'd gone to great lengths to give her something unique. He'd given her an opportunity to find out about her ancestors. His thoughtfulness brought a smile to her face. He had still been quiet but nowhere near as subdued as before. Alone, just the two of them, with her guards a small distance away, he'd opened up somewhat. He had told her that he hadn't anticipated being chosen as one of her suitors, let alone that the magic might choose him as her mate.

"I don't know how it works," Bae admitted, "but I know that you'll be my mate."
