"I'm trapped in the darkness." She whispered into his ear.
His arms slipped around her waist, heart aching for her. "I know exactly how you feel."
Her breath hitched, heart skipping a beat. "You do?"
"It's lonely...

Detective Jade Feera had enough of the new senator. When she received word of the public execution, she finally decided to do something about it, even if it cost her job.
Athena was the one responsible for breaking the news. She'd come to Jade's door an unreasonable hour of the night and told her everything— how princess Venus was arrested along with a Jedi, how Aerol was going to have the Queen and princess Aurelia executed later that day without a trial.
"We're going down there, right this minute." Feera grabbed her coat and bag and led Athena out the door.

So acting quickly, Athena stepped in front of Jade and took the lead. "Senator Aurum, I must insist that you rethink the execution." She tried. "It will not end well for you—"
"Are you threatening me?" He walked around his desk and at the two. "Because if you are—"
"No, not at all, Senator." She stood tall, hands clenched into fists. "What I am trying to tell you is that if you execute Queen Aelia and Princess Aurelia, two of Chrysós beloved who have not had a fair trial—"
