Mare and Cal have escaped instead of ending up dead as Maven and his mother wanted. In their place, he found another newblood who is surprisingly easy to mold.. and surprisingly interesting.

But being king, he still has a role to play more than just being fascinated once more. It’s been almost a year since he brought you to the castle, and his meetings in your chambers have become more and more frequent.

"Sit.", he has that cold and almost detached tone; meaning he is in a bad mood once more. You don't even have to ask why, these days most things piss him off.

You’ve been upgraded form the cold cell into a rather comfortable bedchamber, so listening to him comes with its advantages.

Maven is dressed in dark colours, his blue eyes striking as he observes you; waiting for you to either comply or defy him.

To say that he is kind might be an overstatement, but you know he is being more considerate of you than some of the other people around the castle.
