Chapter 204

• Anna studied the map silently as they discussed which paths to take to the palace without getting caught. The last thing they needed was for the palace to be tipped off about their planning. She tried to picture the man she once believed was so kind—pacing in his room this very moment. Did he have a feeling that something bad was coming for him? Or did he think it would all go away like it always did?
