Sir Arthur sat beside Red and Stella Marie's newly proclaimed Faey Courts. They stood at the right side of the throne, and the new queen was about to address her disarrayed subjects.
Zey was nowhere to be found, and Red assumed the lieutenant commander might have gone off to mourn the Queen Tiana in private.
That was kind of weird for Red. Weren't the rest of the Faey people deserving to mourn their queen as well? Why was Zey being selfish with it?
Red stood straight, as straight as she could with all her aching body parts from their battles, and anticipated Stella Marie's announcement.
The little girl suddenly radiated authority, as if the throne was made for her from the very beginning.
Red could tell that Stella Marie knew more than she let on, and that was probably one of her forte with which she could hide certain truths from plain sight.
Even when the faeys were inherently people who speak only the truth.
