Elena unfolded the letter with trembling fingers. Thomas had warned her never to trust the queen, but Thomas was not there now.
"You should not have opened that," Malik said from the doorway. His voice was quiet โ the particular quiet of someone who had learned silence as a weapon.
She turned slowly. He stood against the frame like he'd been there a long time, one shoulder braced on the wood, arms crossed. The candlelight caught the scar along his jaw.
"How long have you been watching me?" she asked.
"Long enough." He pushed off the doorframe and stepped inside without invitation. "Long enough to know you already read it before I got here."
Elena looked down at the letter in her hands. The royal seal had been broken clean โ not torn, not forced. Whoever had written this hadn't expected to keep it secret. They'd expected it to be read.
"It's from my mother," she said.
Malik stopped. Something moved behind his eyes โ calculation, or perhaps something older than that. "Your mother has been dead for eleven years."
"I know." She held out the letter. "That's the part that worries me."
