Silver Skeletons: Book 3 The Rose Tree Chronicles

"Only law enforcement, Their Royal Majesties, and the Slave Owner may harm an owned Slave. All unauthorized individuals caught harming an owned Slave without permission from the owner will be prosecuted to the utmost of the law in addition to paying the owner the full value of the harmed Slave." 


With her head hung low, Nadia followed Polaris out of the sparring room and down the corridor. Rein perched on her shoulder. 


"Go ahead and let him know of your curse, Nadia," Rein whispered into her ear. "It might be better for everyone if he knew about it." 


Nadia wasn't sure if she agreed with Rein. In the parlor, Polaris took a seat in his wing chair in front of the fireplace, which was adjacent to Drake who slowly set his book down when he noticed that everyone had moved to this room all of a sudden. Nadia stood silently in front of the royal advisor, and Rein stood on the end table next to them.
