But it wasn’t just because of Prince Taveon. It was partially because of Rafe. It was truly difficult to hate someone when an overwhelming sense of happiness had settled over your mind. And Rafe loved Taveon like a brother. How could she hate someone who her paramourloved?
“Do you no longer care that he lied toyou?”
“I care.” Bree let out a heavy sigh. “But I have also forgiven him. I guess he had good reasons for what he did, even if he really should have gone about it a different way. Plus, I really do think he intends to rule this realm as a kind and steady King. I know you don’t support him, but I don’t think he’ll be as bad as youthink.”
“I see.” A pause. “And you don’t doubt the truth of his words? He lied to you once. What makes you think he would not lie to youagain?”
Bree shrugged. “Because he has no reason to. I’m already here, and it’s not like I could leave if I wanted to. The guards are everywhere, and he could easily throw me back into a cell if he thought I was a threat. He might as well behonest.”
“And yet you can still have your true freedom, Bree, if you want it. I know you turned it down before, but the offer does stillstand.”
Bree stiffened and glanced at the guards behind her. Why did Dagen keep going on about this? Why didn’t he give up? Did he really hate the idea of Taveon’s reign thatmuch?
“I’m sorry, Dagen. I don’t know what to tell you.” She took a deep breath and pushed past him. “Please don’t come to see meagain.”
