"And you think they wouldn't suspect anything?"

"Who would think the honorable Prince Valerie took spirit?" Maeve said, her voice hard and confident. "Everyone knows you've been training relentlessly. It wouldn't be a surprise if you improved. And when you kill Aldric, the people of Astaria will be too busy celebrating the death of the dark fae prince to question how it happened."
