21. Struggling With Inner Rage

Malachi

Standing on the terrace, I was mesmerised by the sun’s descent, which beautifully painted the sky with soft hues of pink and gold, offering a stunning view of the twin islands below. The twin jewels, a symbol of our unity, stretched out magnificently on the cerulean sea.

In the distance, I can see the preparations for the evening’s banquet, the flicker of torches, and the soft rustle of leaves in the wind. I felt a mixture of pride and anticipation, a thrill that tingles in my veins.

We landed a few hours ago, and Reyna was exhausted from literally being chartered all over the continent for the last week. So while she rests, we’ll make sure everything is in order.

Purchasing these islands was easier than I expected it would be. I specifically wanted islands close to each other; one for formal events like tonight named Queen’s Court, and the other would be one we called home.

When it comes to Reyna, I don’t trust anyone but Rune and Cassian, and I intend to keep it that way.
