"All of you can leave," Zuri said, waving her hand at the two personal maids of her mother. They looked at Luna Karina and only left after she nodded.
"What is the meaning of this, Zuri?" Karina asked. "We need to go to the palace. You need to hurry."
Instead of answering, Zuri chose to sit down on the edge of the bed and stared at her mother. "Tonight, they will stage the coup, why do we need to be there? It's dangerous, don't you think?"
Karina widened her eyes, because Zuri was talking about the coup so casually. Thankfully, there was no one but the two of them there.
"We still need to put on an act. We can't afford to alert the King that there will be a coup against him. It will put him on alert if we missed this party. Your father said the King seemed to notice there was something amiss, but couldn't put his finger on what it is yet."
