Look Beyond What You See

For some girls, age eighteen is the magical age of freedom and independence. For Aerys, turning eighteen means an arranged marriage to a man she's never met before, leaving the only home she's ever known, and accidentally discovering things she never knew about the world, about her family, and about herself, things that have been lurking beneath the surface all along. However, each new discovery brings new questions with it, and the answers could lead in some very dangerous directions. She and her fiancé, Dmitri, must decide whether or not to find the answers to these questions and what to do with the knowledge they gain. To change the game instead of living by others' rules, they must look beyond what they see.

Chapter 49 Sickness

"Aerys? Aerys, it s time to get up," Juniper s voice echoes from somewhere far away. I groan and pull the covers over my head. For once in my life, I am cold in my bed despite all of the overstuffed covers and fluffy blankets on top of me. My head is pounding. "Aerys.... Wait. You never sleep in. I never have to wake you up. Something must be wrong with you. Let me feel your forehead, dear." She wrestles the covers off of my head and lays a cold hand on my forehead. I hiss and retreat into my blanket cave. Every muscle aches. I think I ll not move that quickly again.

"Goodness, Aerys, you re burning up!" Juniper declares. "I ll go tell Their Excellencies that you are indisposed and will not be following your usual schedule today. Do you feel like eating anything?"

"No," I groan.

"Of course. Well, I ll send Malina in to keep you company and take care of you, and we ll see if Their Excellencies let Dmitri come in here to see you."
