I sighed heavily as I manifested in my own room, carefully checking my gloves as the dark mark disappeared from my floor. I hadn't had time to wash them after dealing with the culprit, and I needed to make sure no blood remained before facing Father. After all, he had likely found the poor fool by now and my little plan with Lucien relied heavily on Father not knowing we had been there first.
"What a bother this all is." I breathed, taking a moment to shift into my male form. As much as I preferred the smooth curves of my female appearance, Father wanted to present "power" for the execution, so he was requiring all of the potential heirs to stand beside him in male form. More likely it was to test all of us at once, a way to narrow the list once again. Lucien was lucky he was no potential King, as it freed him up to spend time with his little angel.
