19 Chapter Fifteen: Goodbye

CARTER’S REFLECTION GLAZES over the surface of Rowan’s horrified eyes as he realises what he’s done. Rowan releases the sword –still penetrating the soldier- and backs away as Avie’s scream echoes across the church walls.

Avie runs towards Carter, watching as he falls heavily to the floor, struck by shining metal under the enormous chandelier above.

Ericia and Henry stare at the bloody sight as Avie stoops beside Carter. He’s breathing, but the pain quickly takes over.

“Where is the doctor?” Avie asks. “Did he leave with the king?”

“He left,” Ericia says, “I’m sure there’s another physician nearby.” She looks around the church, “Can anyone help?”

“I can,” Gaya says, rushing from the back of the church to the front. “I’ll help him, Your Majesty,” she says leaning to inspect the wound.
