Heiteng found them in the main hall.
Jayde and Eden. Sitting at the long crystal table where the bloodsworn oath had been spoken, where the ancient queens had manifested, where Ashara's memory projections had rewritten the history of the world. The table where important things happened.
Heiteng sat across from them. Mercury silver eyes on Jayde. The king, who had just spent an hour on a communication crystal and was carrying information that weighed more than stone.
"The Demon King has been investigating the Temple's operations for months," Heiteng said. "Independently. Before we found the pill. Before the tournament."
Jayde's gold-amber eyes were steady. Listening.
