The Most Beautiful End
-
A/N: This chapter is another interlude, intended to go right after the first. It is the new ending of Part One. Interlude 1 Interlude 2 Laszlo Two Days Ago Laszlo Tolemas was the sort of man who rarely heard the word “no.” Plenty of variations of a refusal were thrown his way, of course. He…

A/N: make sure you actually read chapter 16 (which should have been chapter 17 initially), I changed up some chapter numbers. Chapter Sixteen Another Dance “Announcing Magister-Adept Liana Aurelia Grace,” House Citrine’s herald announced into the great banquet hall of the Golden Hold. “And her escort, Magister-Adept Willam Adalric Carnation!” Willam and Liana stepped into…

A/N: so a quick note. I’m adding in another interlude and I’m taking the interludes out of the chapter numbering. So if you’ve already read chapter 16 and got confused because this should be chapter seventeen, you’re right!

Chapter Eleven Here, At Last The rest of the day went quickly. Adelaide returned to her assigned chambers and had dinner with Plum and Willam. The food was surprisingly delicious—a rich beef stew and hunks of dark, hearty bread. The three ate their fill, and Willam prepared to head to his room next door. “It…

“Unit CWN-721 seems to be defective, ma’am.” The machinist stood over me, wielding a long, clawed tool that she used to turn me over and around. Her dark blue coveralls were oil-stained and heavily patched, and she clicked her tongue as she let my leg drop to the ground. “What’s wrong with it, Acevedo?” the…
