Myrcella's POV
Something felt off within the castle. No, it was more like there was some strange vibe going around. Everyone in the castle, from the royal knights to the maids, even my father's concubines, seemed restless. The Prime Minister, the Court Nobles, the ministers, and even my father, the King, all seemed troubled. The atmosphere in the castle was so thick you could cut it with a knife. Breathing felt like a chore too. It was evident that something was up by the way everyone was moving about.
"It seems like your half-brother is dead set on winning the King's Game and seizing the throne from your father to become the ruler of Milham," Johanne remarked. We were both in my royal chamber. Normally, men wouldn't be allowed in the quarters of an unmarried or even married royal, but Johanne was an exception. Not that I had any concerns about Johanne doing anything inappropriate; I trusted him. "What I don't understand is why Prince Julius is behaving like this."
