 "NO!!!" Micah's voice slashes through the air in an agonizing scream. 

 She rushes to the prince lying lifeless on the bed with tear-blurred eyes, her body shaking like a leaf in the storm. 

 The guard takes an alert move at her, their eyes asking permission for something from the king. Micah acts like she doesn't notice, she doesn't want anyone here. She only sees Severo. She wants to save him. 

 "Take her to the dungeon." The king's voice freezes Micah on her feet, her wide eyes finding the King's eyes cold golden ones. 

 "Why?" Micah whispers, defeated. "What did I do?" 

 "From the way this chamber looks and you being the only one…alive, we need you for questioning."
