IVAN POV
It's over, it's all over!
I thought to myself as I stared outside my window where a protest was taking place. The clamor of voices rising in protest echoed through the square. It had been days like this—constant noise, constant fury—but the chaos outside barely compared to the storm brewing within me.
The whole kingdom had been in an uproar ever since everyone found out the truth about Arianne. But not the full truth because that's just what Azar does, he manipulates the truth. Tells it in a way that that only favors him.
We already lost good allies, everyone already sided with Azar. Although they didn't have a choice but it was out of fear and they had a good reason to be scared too since we've all witnessed the full terror Azar brought with him to the castle.
