Where Is Aldric?

The tension in the palace was so thick it was suffocating as soldiers hurried through the halls, each movement charged with urgency. 

Valerie had given strict orders to surround the palace and not, under any circumstances, allow the disgraced dark Fae, Aldric, to gain entrance. The palace was in a state of high alert, with soldiers stationed at every possible point of entry.

Valerie had been discussing his ascension with small, trusted members of the royal council of the Summer Court when a message arrived from the General that Aldric had escaped. 

It turned out that Valerie had ordered the general to keep Aldric preoccupied, to not give him even a moment to breathe, at least until his ascension to the throne was complete. 

Unfortunately, Aldric spy—Isaac— who had infiltrated the palace had also managed to escape. So when the general sent word of Aldric's freedom, Valerie knew It was only a matter of time before Aldric made his way to the palace.
