Today was the day.
He couldn't screw this up.
Heon told that to himself, swearing to play it by the book. Well, at least, as much as he could. Not to be a pessimist, but not many things go as he planned, lately.
Today, he will meet the Queen. Tell her the truth, and all that happened to him. And then, he'd return the lost crown back to the Queen in exchange for pardoning him.
That way, he also didn't need to worry about Darym getting the crown – as it was one of the keys the cursed mage wanted. The Queen would never let Darym get the crown again.
Then, everything will go splendidly.
Alas, that was what Heon desired.
A mere imagination born from desperation.
The truth – well, it wasn't as easy to tell.
Long story short, the crown Heon got after Sunny slayed five people – and maybe more, with Azran, too – in the volcano, was gone.
As if, gone, gone.
It disappeared, albeit not completely.
