“He wants you to marry soon, but I think he’ll be happier if
you’re dead.”
Ren knew Garret was trying to get her to marry someone on
Novae but she hadn’t thought he’d be happier if she was dead. She didn’t think her death would benefit him
in any way, actually. Or anyone, for
that matter.
“Garret might be a snake, but he would be happier if I just
married someone,” Ren argued.
“He’d be happier if Elian was on the throne.”
That caught Ren by surprise.
“What do you mean?”
“Maks cannot be controlled,” Sheridan cut in, her voice
low. “He does what he believes is right
and best for the people, not the Monarchy.
Elian is not as strong as Maks; he’d fold under their pressure.”
“Elian is plenty strong,” Ren said. “And if he were the King then he would be great. He would--”
“Be easily controlled,” Abetha interrupted, “at least Garret
thinks so.”
Ren bit down on her bottom lip. “No he wouldn’t.” It was true though, and Elian had plenty of
weaknesses they could exploit. All they
had to do was threaten to take away his machines and he would crumble. But Ren wanted to think her brother had more
integrity than that and shook her head.
“He would compared to Maks,” Abetha said carefully. “The Monarchy is having trouble keeping Maks
under their thumb. He isn’t doing what
they want here.”
“And what is it they want?” Ren whispered. It was what she’d been trying to figure out
ever since she’d left Earth.
In the darkness, Sheridan answered, “Control.”
