A day later in the palace, Sebastian smiled as he awaited good news from his father's court. Today would be the day that he would take the throne and start a new reign as king. All he needed was for his father to pass away quietly.
"Your Highness," Lilith greeted Sebastian with a curtsy. "You look dashing. It is a good look for what is about to come. I must warn you that the queen has been behaving strangely. I think she intends to put up a fight."
"Let her and her bastards fight. As soon as my father takes his last dying breath, I will kill her and her bastards. Keep an eye on her family. Her father is the true threat. That fool thinks he could be king," said Sebastian.
"If you had allowed it, I could have gotten rid of the queen long ago. I am tired of Althea trying to tell me what my place is in the palace. I have also heard that she is going around to your father's peers gathering support for the third prince," Lilith shared.
