Nikolina Appreciation Week 2022 ♛ Day 1: Free Day - Role Reversal AU “It’s not too late,” she said. “You could stay. You could come back with me to the Grand Palace.” “And do what?” “Teach, help me rebuild the Second Army, rusticate by the lake?” This was what Tolya had been alluding to. She’d hoped I might return to Os Alta. It hurt to even think about. I shook my head. “I’m not Grisha, and I’m certainly not a noble.

Was that what was worrying him? That I thought he’d abandoned me? “I never doubted it.”
