Lost Crown

"Alright, I'll bite. What does Summer Queen Kera have to do with all this? How do you plan to try and spin this on her?" Sael was no longer in a rush.  Killing the King would only have his crown transfer to another in the long line of succession.  Up until now, he had been lucky with that, acquiring both seeds and crowns without the need of killing others.  Or being lucky enough for them to not have a successor.  Here that streak of luck ended.

"I don't expect you to take my word for it. I saved the stupid bitches letter.  Only a fairy would be stupid enough to put such things in writing." King Belerian yelped as his shoulder bruised and bone fractured under the crushing grip.  "Stop! STOP! There, in my desk over there. I saved the letter as well as the container she sent the arrow in."
