đ Ashara Kingdom â The Night Before the Full Moon
I woke up feeling⌠different. Lighter. Like something inside me had shifted.
Strong arms were around my waist. I blinked and turned slowly.
Roman.
He was still asleep, his bare chest rising and falling. His lashes brushed his cheek, his lips soft and slightly parted. I found myself watching the way his jaw moved, the curve of his nose, theâ
Focus, Ava!
I reached up and gently touched his lips.
But thenâhis eyes opened.
Oh no.
Before I could even react, he smirked and suddenly flipped me over. Now he was on top of me, caging me in with his arms. His body pressed against mine.
"Good morning, your Majesty," he teased.
I didn't have time to respond.
BANG!
Astrid barged in, dramatic as ever.
"Enough with the lovey-dovey! Today is the big day!"
I scrambled out from under Roman, my face completely red. I could hear him chuckling behind me.
I rushed into the bathroom, cleaned up, and threw on a simple dress. Grandma saw me and nodded.
"You'll still change later, but it's perfect for the journey. We can't teleport to Asharaâthere's a high magical barrier."
A grand enchanted carriage waited outside. I stepped in with Roman, Astrid, Chase, and Grandma.
As the carriage rolled through ancient forest paths, Grandma began to tell me about my father.
"Leo and Lincoln were my sons. But something dark grew inside Leoâambition, greed. When he discovered Ava was the chosen one, he did everything to stop it."
Her eyes filled with tears.
"I never wanted to punish my child⌠but Leo has to face justice. After your coronation, he'll be sentenced to five years in Jayah Kingdom's prison."
No one spoke. The air was heavy with truth and loss.

đ Arrival at Ashara Kingdom
The palace stood like a crown of stone and magic. Glowing towers, golden gates, and a tense silence in the air.
Grandma stopped us outside the gates.
"From here, you go alone," she said to me. "You're the Queen now. This is your moment."
She handed me a small vial.
"Spray this powder. Your royal attire will appear. The guards won't dare stop you."
I turned to Roman.
"Stay close."
