Legend had heard from Scarlett that Tella was acting weird. She missed the whole first course, and when she snapped back to reality, her eyes kept darting around and she kept giving them all strange smiles.
What had he done? He truly didn't understand. Legend and Tella loved each other, right?
He broke Jacks's spell by telling her he loved her. Then he started piecing things together. Jacks - it had to be him! How, though? A love spell wouldn't work, plus he had sworn that he wouldn't do anything to Tella.
It could be something else, but she wouldn't betray Legend. Or would she?
Legend immediately took the thought out of his head, feeling guilty. Although he truly didn't understand. What more could she want? They were already the most famous couple in Valenda, right next to Scarlett and Julian. People gave them flowers and practically bowed to them.
Plus, they went on their own little adventures throughout the palace every day. They would look for left-behind fated objects, secret passageways, and other little bits of magic.
Legend was then brought back to the letter she sent him about causing a scandal. He wondered if she was angry about that.
He really didn't know anything. All he did know was that he was going to talk to her later.
Tella got up, claiming she forgot something in her room. Legend was about to follow her when Scarlett cleared her throat.
"Now that she's gone, let's get real. What is Tella doing and does Jacks have anything to do with it?" With that, Scarlett pulled out a fresh Prince of Hearts card.
Legend gasped and Julian made a face. "I found this in my room earlier. Tella says she doesn't know a thing about it, but we all know her well enough to not believe that. Also, when Tella wasn't in her room, I found this in her drawer." She showed them a luckless coin with Jacks's face on it.
"I have no idea what is going on, but we are going to have to solve it," Scarlett continued. "But after the wedding. Let's not spoil the festivities."
But if all the evidence proved true, more than just the festivities would be ruined for Legend.
