Bellamy's Point Of View
I was staring down at the second letter, and I just couldn't believe my eyes. I was hesitant to hand it over to Tristan. He would no doubt want to go, and that action would damn us all. However, just as Ferdinand and Sylvester said, if he stayed here then they would no doubt come for him here.
Ferdinand was the biggest threat in terms of strength and man power. If he went to Demhongade alone, word would spread like wild fire. Zachariah said he'd do what he could, and that Ferdinand might not need his help. But what Monarch played favorites with its subjects, that was an easy way to get killed or dethroned.
I had only met Zachariah once, and it was at Ferdinand's parents funeral. He was terrifying back then and he was only 10 years older than us. I wasn't sure what the history behind Ferdinand and Zachariah was, but this whole situation made me uneasy.
