Chapter 24 / 30
Chapter 24 - LUCAS READ THE LAST PAGEYears later, Samuel found one additional page in Richard’s archive.
A personal note.
Lucas read it alone first.
Then to me.
Son, if you are angry that I gave Emma so much responsibility before she could understand it, remember that I did not give her a crown. I removed a weapon from adults.
Lucas paused.

Richard had not chosen Emma because she was magically wiser at six.
He chose a structure around her because adult greed needed distance.

Lucas folded the letter.
“I wish he said that while alive.”
“Me too.”
