Chapter 42: Kill her

After a difficult night in his native walls, the morning calm was bliss and even the company of his stepsister did not spoil the situation at all. I played along with her on any occasion, it was absolutely not difficult, and she was too open to tell me all the things that should usually be kept silent. That's how I found out that it's not easy times in the kingdom, as well as inside the royal family.

I kept adding fuel to the fire and occasionally accidentally touched Xana, making her blush and embarrassed. She was so busy thinking about male attention that she didn't follow what she was saying at all. From her words, I learned that the Rivaldi family began to lose magic, it was getting out of control and the forces became weaker than before. The king silenced the rumors as best he could, but if one person knows, the whole village knows, and therefore the rumors spread outside the palace anyway.
