"I am not a woman, I'm a god. I am not a martyr, I'm a problem,"

"You should have one of us with you," Aurora stated, wanting him to be okay.
"I'll manage," he said, his tone of voice irritated. When he saw the annoyed expression on her face, his voice softened, "You and Inej can't blow your cover this early and Jesper needs to plot out escape route,"
She nodded her head, ever since she had sung that song, it seemed like she had let a weight from her past off of her shoulder.

Aurora eyed Kaz in his guards uniform before she got onto the carriage, entering the Little Palace.

KAZ PATROLLED THE WALLS, LOOKING around for anything. But as Kaz looked for the ambush point, he collapsed against a wall, clutching his leg and breathing heavily as a jolt of pain shot through it.
