What if there's a universe where this book is real?
According to the multiverse theory-yeah, probably. And in that universe, 14-year-old Max Carsley is trying to survive being a teenager and a prince, all while living in a star-spanning civilization...
Devlin's ship had departed from Neburn a couple hours ago, and was now heading towards the nearest wormhole. Oden was watching cartoons in a separate room while Devlin, Aloreen, and Jiani sat at a table together, listening to the file that Aloreen had been sent.
After listening to the audio file, Jiani was disturbed. The idea that her own palace staff could be part of a grand conspiracy against the Shane family scared her. Was it safe to go home? Would she and Oden be staying on Delvoria for longer than they expected?

"How do you feel?" Aloreen asked Jiani.
"Troubled," Jiani admitted. "Do you know who they are?"
"Feldren's team is currently trying to piece together who those two men could be, and once we find them, they will both be heavily interrogated," Aloreen explained. "But what I'm more concerned about is whether or not it's safe for you and Oden to return to Trinia."
"That's been on my mind for some time now," Jiani said. "We still need to hold Dilorno's funeral and Odens coronation, and while we can certainly postpone those events, they need to happen as soon as possible. Also, I'll be real, Delvoria is a sauna and I don't think I can stand it for much longer."
"That's very much understandable, it's not your native climate," Aloreen said. "We'll do our absolute best to make sure you and Oden are properly cooled."
"Thank you, Aloreen," Jiani said.
Devlin thought about the argument Maryan and Jiani had at the meeting. "Y'know, the way Maryan spoke to you at the meeting, it almost seemed as if she was.. mocking you," He said.
"Oh, she was. She called me JiJi," Jiani spat. "That was Dilorno's nickname for me."
"What is wrong with that woman?!" Devlin was appalled.
"She's nuts, cartoonishly nuts," Jiani said.
"ENTERING WORMHOLE— PREPARE FOR PASSAGE," The intercom said.
"Oh perfect! We'll be on Delvoria in no time. Then I can go home and see my family," Devlin beamed. "I wonder how they're doing..."
