Hi! I'm sorry I wasn't able to reply because I was waiting for the chapter to come out so we could discuss this further.

So, the assassination attempt really did happen.

Boy, did that leave me all sorts of messed up. I knew there'd be someone who'd take the bullet for MC, but I didn't expect it to be Drake. Now that I've opened this topic, I believe that Drake is one of the King's Guard. At first, I thought he took the fall because his late father used to be part of the King's Guard and the whole protecting thing was just his instinct, but if you recall, Drake was very private about his job. MC had asked him a lot of times about this, even Olivia, but he never budged to tell. There's also a Tumblr post that pieced the mystery around Drake together: during the social season's event, Drake was always at the far end of the ballroom. It's odd that he'd want to sit at the back, because even Liam and Maxwell who are dear close to him, wouldn't let him do that (I don't know if it's he same case as Olivia's event, because Olivia was the one who decided for the seatplan and intended to place him at the back which was actually more than fine by him). Maybe he'd done this to observe and so he'd keep an eye on whoever might start a chaos. This whole taking the bullet tells that he'd even have a bigger role in book 3. Wish Maxwell would have, too. :(

And do you think Maxwell and Hana were abducted? It only said MC had lost Maxwell and Hana, but it didn't really mention that an assassin took them away. If they were, why them of all people? What would they gain for kidnapping them? It'd only hurt MC and the people close to them, yes, but it wouldn't directly affect Cordonia.

Someone said Madeleine could be an ally in book 3. Would you want her to be? I chose to be b*tchy at her so I think it'd take a lot of convincing to take my side. But it'd be really interesting if she becomes one, though I still feel indifferent towards her. She's still not my favorite person but if we could use her resources and knowledge on how to handle all the drama then so be it.

Who do you think are Cordonia's assassins?
