Chapter 34
Lily's POV
I woke up to the sound of a loud thud against my front door.
"Lily, get the door!" my mom's voice rang through the house, sharp and impatient.
"Okay, Mom," I groaned, dragging myself out of my sheets like a zombie on Monday morning.
My hair wild with my eyes barely open, I shuffled to the door, half-expecting it to be a delivery or one of the neighbors needing sugar.
Nope.
It was a scroll. A legit, sealed, wax-stamped scroll. Taped to the door like a medieval eviction notice. I blinked at it, confused, then ripped it open.
And when I read it? My jaw dropped.
"By royal decree, Lily Mittens and Mark Rowe are hereby prohibited from public interaction under any circumstance. This measure has been put in place due to reports that their relationship has caused disturbances within the school community. Violation will be met with palace-sanctioned reprimand.
Signed, His Majesty, King Joseph Wellington."
