Ara stayed over with the king the whole day to comfort him. She waited until he fell asleep before she took her to leave and left the room.
She was very happy, things were finally looking up for her after a long time. The biggest obstacle of her life was gone and the second one was also about to leave.
They had proved very bad for her and very hard to get rid of but now they both were living her life so quickly.
She felt like jumping up and down and celebrating her victory but she refrained from doing so. It was important for her to maintain her appearance now more than ever.
She knew that based on her word alone the king would not believe what happened. She knew that from the people who were there when Sly died. That he would try to find out the truth.
She had not just chosen to blame Landon for no reason. She had thought of all the outcomes and the facts and knew how to go about the whole thing.
