“The boy confessed.”
“Confessed? Are you talking about the drug?”

Rodrick nodded. “And he also confessed to killing Declan.”
“Wait… Amir did it?”

“M-My Lord, please forgive me! I did what I did for your sake. I wanted to protect you!”
“You drugged me, Amir!” he growled, the indifference from earlier twisted into anger. Amir flinched from Isaiah’s intimidating glare.
“That’s because I had too…I was forced to do it, you have to understand, Lord Isaiah, they would have hurt you!”
“They?” I whispered to Rodrick.
