A tear falls from my eyes down onto his face.
“You cannot die,” I forbid him, voice breaking. “The kingdom needs you.” I suck in a breath. “Ineed you. I’m not ready to do this without you. Do you hear me, Linus? Do you hear me, Dad?”

In the length of a heartbeat…
In the blink of a deep green eye…
A crown changes hands once more.
