Verinia had not slept the entire night. Although she had been mostly immobilised by Su'ni Anthipeia the day before, she didn't dare to be negligent and had spent the entire day and night by her little brother's side, bursting with worry.
The lesser sun had just risen over the horizon when the edict came.
The First Princess was hereby stripped of her title as Su'Adrit and ordered to be under confinement in Benevolence Palace for the indefinite future. She was allowed no visitors under any circumstances.
When she heard the edict, Verinia did not feel upset. In fact, she felt the urge to laugh.
She looked at Halen, who was pale and sleeping on her bed.
After he had closed his eyes the day before, he had not opened them since. He was in a deep sleep, and according to his condition, this was not good, but also not unexpected.
Considering this, how could she care about her stupid father's punishment for her?
