Heavy whispers choked Mircea, the voices were growing louder every second. Her…her father was dead. After everything she had done, everyone she had left behind. He was dead-just like that. And now they were about to kill Faustina!
She couldn't-she wouldn't let it happen. She had to do something! Had to stop it. Whatever claim they held over Faustina there must a loophole, she had to find that loophole and save her last family.
Mircea rose to her feet and ran fast-shoving people away. She had to get there before they could as much touch Faustina.
A hundred thoughts running through her mind but this wasn't the time for questions. People recognized her, made way for her. There were curious stares. Hushed voices.
"She is alive?"
"Why has she come back?"
"Is she with Crown Princess Faustina?"
