EZEKIEL WAS in no mood to be social, which happened quite rarely and was a problem since he was at a party. Normally he had no problem socializing, being charming, dancing, but tonight, his heart just wasn’t in it. Yet he was at a party celebrating Vrai’s birthday that Nikolaus and Kaillen were hosting in the palace.
At least it wasn’t a party that had been planned to celebrate his own, now former, betrothal.
Perhaps that was why he didn’t want to be there. He’d been required to attend far too many parties for a betrothal he didn’t want in recent weeks. Or perhaps it was the circumstances of how that betrothal ended, and his own father’s actions, that left him less than thrilled about socializing.
Perhaps it was that Nikolaus and Kailen had finally decided what to do about Father. Ezeki
