Chapter 33 Fool Me Twice, Shame On You Part II

• Brum led me to the head of the table with my heart suddenly hammering. The king’s words had been so clear yet it seemed inevitable I would break them. Brum did not seem to care which was actually shocking because I knew he loved his cousin very much and respected him as the king. Why would he go so out of his way to help me?
• I did not dare stare at the king. I was supposed to stay away from him but found myself literally about to seat a few inches from him.
• The chair was pulled for me. Who would have ever imagined Brum pulling chairs for me? I still could not believe it. If only my voodoo could also work on the king.
