Breena gaped at the familiar walls of the castle. She hadn’t expected Pickle-Prick’s adventure to lead them here, although the more she thought on it, the more the idea made sense. The prince couldn’t very well remain in his own kingdom, not with his father missing and his brothers bent on punishing him for the king’s disappearance.
Breena drew strength from the familiar tapestries, the tables, the mirrors, and the abundance of pillows and cushions scattered in the corner. Taking a deep breath, she kneaded her claws on the edge of a rug. She was the mistress here. She could help.
“What are we doing here?” Myles demanded. “And I never agreed to an adventure.”
Pickle-Prick gave them a lazy look. “What is life, but an adventure?”
Myles glared at him, but didn’t say anything. Breena shook her head. She seriously doubted anything, even a look dark as that, would discomfit Pickle-Prick. He had been designed to be the one doing the discomfiting.
