Bab 23: Chapter 23 : Inevitable

~VANNIE~

He knew.

The King knew about her and Crom, but he wasn't doing anything about it. Why? Why?

And Crom had another person in the Inlands working for him and giving him information? Who was it? Did the King also know who it was?

But what if he didn't actually know that Vannie was involved with his enemies? What if it was just a guilty conscience that was prickling her? It would not do to go into a panic over something she wasn't sure of yet. She should calm down.

She knew the reason for this attack on the Inlands was to make Sin grow closer and protective over her. But as he ushered her into his room, it wasn't the plan that made her follow him. No. Crom had told her to prepare for action, and to be ready to go into the King's embrace when it happened. But Vannie hadn't been expecting a bloody bomb.
