Jett sighed, not amused. "Stop treating this like a game. We could actually die here." His eyes scanned the king from a safe distance, calculating the risk.

"What's the plan?" Cedric asked, sharing Rey's concern. "It could be a trap."

"Of course it is..." Rey began, but before he could finish, Jett interrupted.

"Got it," Jett declared, holding the crown in his hand.
