Chapter 656

• I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous. I wasn’t nervous about the ceremony; I was nervous about whatever plans Rupprecht had that we didn’t know about. I hadn’t seen Adelie all day. Duncan kept me occupied and as soon as I found myself alone, I was bombarded by either Kiran, Malachi, or William. Everyone was tense about tonight. The only person who didn’t seem worried at all was Levi.
• My coronation was finally here, and I wondered if Rupprecht would use tonight’s distraction to attack, so I doubled patrols around the borders and set an extra patrol around the castle. Tala and Levi had completely taken over the Zetas’ training and the feedback I got was neither bad nor great. My Zetas’ abilities could be, at best, considered average according to Levi, and that was a problem.
• “Are you nervous?” Falcon asked me, as I buttoned up my shirt. Duncan was standing near the walk-in closet with the tie he had chosen and my jacket.
