Fall of Ruin and Wrath

The next day, people in the manor prepare for the Feasts. Lis spends much of her day trying to distract herself, thinking of her conversation with Claude as she waits for Thorne to return. In the afternoon, Grady takes her to the Great Chamber because he saw Hymel meeting with Hyhborn lords. They decide the meeting is likely about the battle; however, they wonder why Claude is not there. 

Troubled, Lis goes to Claude’s private chambers. She finds the place empty and looking as though no one has been there that day. As she walks through the rooms, she remembers tender moments with Claude. Even though he kept her bloodline a secret, she realizes that she cannot be upset with him because he has protected her all these years. Suddenly, she is struck by a vision. She sees blood and masked people, as well as sapphire jewelry covered in blood.

Lis knows that death will come during the Feasts. She also recognizes the sapphire necklace from the vision; it belongs to Naomi. Lis goes immediately to Naomi’s chambers. There, Lis tells Naomi about her vision, explaining that Naomi is in danger if she stays in Archwood for the Feasts.
