Second Chance

Fawkes’ POV

Beyond their rooms, there was much more going on, of course. Even though Duke Kellen was now human, he remained the Spymaster of Lupus. No one really talked about that, but Queen Annabelle had discreetly shared that piece of information with me.

And there was more to Princess Seffrin’s and Duke Kellen’s relationship now. His newfound humanity was something that the Princess and he were bonding over. It certainly helped that the Princess had found out about the Duke’s motivations, which was to save her life and position as future Queen of Lupus. The attacks on Prince Alexander and Cassidy’s lives had been arranged to remove them from being LuPur’s potential allies.

It was a misguided endeavour and when Duke Kellen had learnt the truth of their political beliefs and affiliations, he’d brought them to Lupus instead. Neither Queen Annabelle nor Lord Winters were amused.
