Chapter 9 – Wartime Diplomacy
The first thing Shaelith noticed when she woke up was the unfamiliar scent of pine resin and damp forest floor, and it was cold, at least relatively. Right. Sylvyn border fort. Not at home. Beside her, Ryzinre was breathing evenly, even though her face was half covered by her long silverish hair. The young woman from a minor house associated with House Vyrnara, who was one of the servants accompanying Shaelith, had proven to be a pleasant traveling companion. She was uncomplicated, loyal, good in…-

On her bed, between the spider-silk sheets, lay a breathtakingly beautiful male Shaeravyn. He was naked, with shimmering purple skin, well-proportioned muscles and long silver hair. Next to him was an equally naked woman and the messages braided in her lavender hair made Shaelith blush. Both of them looked up expectantly. "Luminous Shaelith," the man purred, rose up on one elbow and let his muscles flex in the soft glow of the mushrooms. "Happy Birthday! We are your present." Despite the moss…

Chapter 7 – Birthday Eve
His mother's words still echoed in Jacob's head, three days after they had fallen. Grow up, Shaelith. Soon. Tomorrow was his eighteenth birthday, or rather, Shaelith's eighteenth birthday. The date was basically meaningless to the Shaeravyn, but eighteen years in this body, as Shaelith, was a strange milestone for him. It took some effort to push those thoughts aside to concentrate on more practical concerns. The birthday banquet tomorrow was largely a purely political event. Too his great relief…-

Chapter 6 – The Presentation
When they could see again, the purple fire fizzled out with a final, defiant hiss against Jacob's protective shield and the corridor smelled of the burnt mycelium of the smoldering walls. Amateur. Whoever wants me dead definitely paid too much for this lousy job. House retainer Haeliz, who had been a part of Shaelith's escort, lay in a spreading pool of blood. A crystal shard from one of the goblets the supposed servant carried had been caught in the blast and severed his carotid artery. A quick…-

"I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU!" Honor fluttered in all his splendor over Bomfrey, right next to Obelaine, who was also waving to them as they rode off. "THE NOBLE BENDERAST! HIS BEAUTIFUL WIFE! AND THEIR BRAVE FRIENDS! THE HOT-HEADED DWARF GLIMHART! THE STOIC WOOD ELF CEYLON! THE MERRY MOTH WHIRRBUZZ! THE BARDS WILL SING OF YOUR HEROIC DEEDS AS LONG AS-" "Please let's ride a little faster," Grimbart ground out through clenched teeth. Benderast waved back to Honor from a distance. Or perhaps to…

Chapter 54 – Goodbyes
The chaos caused by the events during the melee lasted for days. Bomfrey was in uproar as everyone involved struggled to manage the greatest dynastic crisis since the founding of the Triarchy, while at the same time Obelaine's revelations sent a full-blown social scandal rocking the court and it reverberated far beyond aristocratic society. The situation was complicated by the fact that the College of Heralds had no precedents or protocol for this and had to improvise, which was something they really…-

Obelaine's desperate cry had caused Frambert to hesitate. The tip of his sword trembled as it rested against Benderast's throat. "Obelaine, no," Frambert croaked. "That… that's not true. Gwilet warned me that you'd say that. You've convinced yourself that this guy saved you, that… that you love him, that… so you can bear the fact that he… what he did to you…" Oh, for fuck's sake, I don't know if I've ever encountered a more despicable worm than Gwilet. Gwilet hadn't just spun a web of…

Chapter 52 – Confess
Gaudbert rushed ahead, and Shaelith followed barefoot. The entire castle was deserted because everyone was already down on the tournament field. "Damn it, my armor," Gaudbert gasped as they were almost across the courtyard, and he was about to turn back. "We don't have time for that now!" Shaelith gave him a nudge, and he started moving again. After they passed through the castle gate and went down the stairs to the field, their paths parted as Shaelith turned toward the nobles' stands and…-

Chapter 51 – A Man of His Words
Benderast took his injury surprisingly well, even though he hadn't quite recovered yet. Nevertheless, he was already standing with Grimbart on the field, where they engaged in a training bout. Grimbart had decided to take part in the melee himself the next day. "Someone has to watch Benderast's back," he had said. Of course, Shaelith wasn't much help in that regard. She wasn't a swordswoman, and her sorcery had no place in such a competition. She had taken care of Benderast, changed his bandages, and…-

Chapter 50 – The Joust
The knightly tournaments Shaelith herself had seen in movies or TV shows in her previous life had been rather gray-brown, muddy affairs. The sun-drenched tournament field in Bomfrey, on the other hand, looked as if a burst piñata had vomited its multicolored contents all over the stands. Countless knights, practically glittering in their colorful armor, and thousands of frenetically cheering, equally colorful commoners shimmered before her eyes. Although they wear a lot of clothes and cover almost…-
