Chapter 4

It’s late at night, but Caspian still hadn't returned. Elara was tired, telling Daisy to wake her when he arrived.

I floated out of the room and sat on the rooftop, looking towards the King's palace.

A few days ago, I heard the King was gravely ill. Caspian being summoned to the palace now meant he was likely being entrusted with a mission in this critical time.

Once he was second only to the King, above all others, I wondered if he would then make a move against the Sterling family.

In recent years, he had already been restless.

The Sterling family and the other four families thought offering mountains of treasures and beautiful women would make him forget the past, but how could such things compare to the hatred in his heart?

The day I returned to the Sterling family home, I had intended to warn them of Caspian's intentions.

But before I could even open my mouth, they poisoned me.

The moon gradually set, and a faint whiteness appeared in the east. The sun was about to rise, and I had to hurry back into the room.

I was a ghost. I feared the sunlight.

My favorite sunlight.
