The Grieving
Prince True
Guest Suite, Second Floor, East Corridor, Catrame Palace, Fire City
FIRENZE
“We should give her another sleeping draught,” Queen Elpis said fretfully. “The last is clearly not working.”
True did not even attempt to hide the censure in his gaze when he looked from the weeping beauty that was in his arms to the Queen of Firenze standing at the side of the foot of Farah’s bed.
Elpis was as far from them as she could get at the same time staying close.
Her wont these past days when it came to Farah and her now-dead mother, Sofia.
Elpis’s eyes were swollen and bloodshot from her own tears.
Too little.
Too bloody late.
Elpis flinched when she caught his gaze.
“You may leave,” True rumbled.
“But, I—” Elpis started.
“You. May. Leave,” True said lower and slower.
Her head jerked before she lifted her chin and stated, “This is my palace. She is my subject. I am queen and I—”
“For thirteen more hours,” he interrupted her to note. “Then my cousin will be the Queen of Firenze and you will be naught but Relict Queen.”
She gasped in affront.
True did not give a gods-damn.
“You leave, or my men will remove you,” True warned.
“You cannot—”
“Leave, Your Grace, or my men will remove you,” True repeated, and Florian made a move toward the queen.
“They have no authority here,” she snapped.
“I am their prince, which means I will be their king and Farah will be their queen. Ask your son what authority that gives me,” True retorted.
He immediately noted she took his meaning.
