At 20, you’re attending the annual tournament with your older sis, Isabelle and your younger, Thea. Your father, Duke Sadon Vaughn, offered you three as prizes to champions of the tournament.

In a private study with just your family, your father justifies after having just told the truth, “It’s an honor to be given to such fine men as those in attendance.”

Your mother, Lady Eowyn, places a soft hand on your quaking shoulder. “Please, it’s for the best.”

Today’s the 4th to last tournament.
