They betrayed her and she destroyed all of them. The man shrugged. The man shook his head. Why did my father’s words still stab me in the heart? • We’re back in the heavy silence of the cavern, as if nothing had happened. Sometimes I’d pretend I was a queen, and that I stood here on a palace balcony looking down at my groveling subjects. I hum an old lullaby too, one my mother used to sing to me when I was very little. There once was a girl, she had a father, a prince and a society of friends. As I watched my father sip his wine, my hands began to tremble. The world is closing in on us. As a merchant’s daughter, one becomes well acquainted with money—and I could tell from the sound and from the size of the coins that the purse was filled to the brim with gold talents. Enzo decides otherwise and the two train Adelina to use her power. . Adelina and Violetta are hunted all through Kennettra and start to make their own society, their first elite being Magiano. From the hidden courtyard that overlooks Estenzia, I glimpse the second victim dragged, sobbing, into a main street by a mob of shouting people. “There,” he says. Copyright © 1999 - 2020 GradeSaver LLC. Several strands of his hair sapphire blue and his eyes are two different colors. but behind it, I sense something sad. Enzo steps away from me. While i was reading the young elites book,I red the part where adelina and raffaele was talking at enzo's wake and before raffaele leave adelina he told her "adelina" and then he pauses," I loved him too." The mirror, the walls, the air. He has long, shining black hair with sapphire strands, flawless glowing olive skin, and is described as tall and fit. Raffaele gives us privacy while she helps me change into the new garments—a beautiful gold dress cut in the Tamouran style. “The other suitors?” My father rubbed a hand across his face. As my father escorted him to our door, I stole away into my bedchamber and stood there in the darkness, shaking. Tamouran silks and spices are in high demand this year—”, The man looked unimpressed. “Why do you trust him?”, My question sounds suspicious and scathing, and immediately I wish I could take it back. She will have a home, and you will have your gold.” He raised a hand. If my little sister were here, she’d murmur something reassuring and soak my hands in warm water. My curiosity got the best of me and I swung my legs over the side of my bed, crept toward my chamber door on light feet, and opened it a crack. Enzo and Adelina have a chance to talk and he seems quite normal. Before the maid leaves, she places a velvet box on top of the dresser. As frightened as Raffaele was about his debut night and what was to follow, in reality Enzo simply wanted to talk. You have the ability to pull on threads of fear and hatred. Even you are reluctant to do business with me. It’s so damp down here. “Give me a moment,” my father anxiously reassured him. Raffaele and the Daggers stay in Tamoura and both he and Violetta sense the power of death in the ocean. He is also dangerously loyal, shown when he stabs a man's neck through with his own dagger when his Dagger's safety is in danger. And I will cover all of them in exchange for your daughter Adelina.”, My father frowned. I dwell on the moment of sadness I’d seen from him before, then on the endless parade of aristocrats he is paid to entertain, both inside and outside the bedchamber. “The world is made of countless threads that connect all things. I try not to look bothered by his answer, but secretly, I dwell on his real meaning. He ties the Tamouran headwrap so much more skillfully than I ever have. But when the fevers affected you and me, something changed in us. I can only imagine what undiscovered Elites out there can do, those beyond the Daggers and beyond who I know exist. “I can see the Tamouran blood in you.”. . Since Raffaele detects that Adelina aligns very strongly to fear and fury, he suggests that Enzo get rid of her because she would be their doom. It is pointless to believe what you see, The thought made me shrink from the stairs. “There must be something I can offer you.”, The man studied his glass of wine thoughtfully. It’s a convincing disguise. It forms the land, air, sea, and all living things. Five thousand gold talents an hour. Tonight, the ocean churned in fury, and white foam crashed against the city’s horizon, flooding the canals. Water trickles from above my door and has painted a groove into the stone wall, discolored green and black with grime. His family was very poor and he was sold to a man to become a consort. “When I turned seventeen and came of age, I became an official consort of the Fortunata Court. No one chooses the life of a consort, no matter how lavish. Clothing from the Sunlands has always felt more comfortable than the stiff corsets and lace that Kenettrans wear. “You stay at the Fortunata Court. And, now more than ever, feared. How did I end up like this? “You must have singlehandedly turned the Fortunata Court into the wealthiest court in the country,” I say. I frown as he works, trying to imagine this strange, invisible energy. He is described as, "one kissed by moon and water," which is an old saying describing those with amazing beauty. My father bowed his head. I don’t want Inquisitors knocking on my door and fining me for giving her away too young.”, “She’s a malfetto,” the man replied. To defy the gods. A mistress. My father’s coat was velvet too, but the material was worn thin. Read Raffaele Laurent Bessette from the story The Cruel Crown (A Young Elites Fanfiction) by AngelicDemigods with 735 reads. Raffaele speaks of a prophecy of sorts that basically says that all the Young Elites with their gifted powers will eventually die from them. I just want to clear it out, if it was a love as a friend or love as in love. I should be used to it by now. But when he came to my chamber, all he wanted to do was talk. When we were very small, we’d sit together in the garden and she would braid periwinkles into my hair. I won’t offer this again.”. I try to imagine the scene: Raffaele at my age, young and innocent, more beautiful than anyone else in the world, standing before a sea of masked nobility and preparing to give himself away.
