Lucy Wickshire - Chapter 231

King Adrian watched her leave with a sigh. He could not begin to understand what was going through her mind.

“This may come back to bite us.” he said and the stone faced Lord Morge looked away.

“No. Only you.” he answered and King Adrian laughed in agreement.

“So, tell me then. What is happening at the Lucen Mountains?” he asked Lord Morge.

“It is as Lady Wickshire predicted. Other-side was quite unhappy with Lady Xier’s entrance to their territory but could not take out their anger on her, so they are going after the ancients. Their younger generation inside the battleground are particularly attacking ancient descendants.” Lord Morge answered.

“She is never wrong.” King Adrian answered.

“That is all the hint given to you by Her Ladyship, Your Majesty. Now you wish to marry Amie. Won’t it only isolate Other-side in the long run? You still need all of them to fulfil your task.” Lord Morge asked.

“Our task.”

“Not the way I see it. Her Ladyship will surely have your head if you fail. I am just your only friend.” Lord Morge answered.

“This-side needs to be united. Only then can we start to worry about Other-side.” King Adrian said.

“Even though told to be without worry. I dare not say I am not weary of the Thraines. Lady Xier is known to be in Other-side, but the others…”

“Her Ladyship did not put them in her calculations because they are simply not in it. She says their desires are not within her goals and neither are hers. We can move without care.” King Adrian said.

“I will keep that in mind.”

“For now, I must marry before the battleground closes.”

“It closes in a two weeks but word of your crowning and new title by the religion has reached those watching the battleground proceedings.” Lord Morge said.

“We may have to push my marriage ahead.” King Adrian said.

“And fear making rumours of your bride to be?” Lord Morge asked.

“Better to be thought rushing to make my heir legitimate, than not be married before the ancients return.”
