Virelai rushed after her mother in a cold sweat.
“Mother! Mother-”106Please respect copyright.PENANAAMFyAvdFmx
“Yes, child?!”106Please respect copyright.PENANA0x4z6zfJX4
The queen snapped, rubbing her temples.
Virelai hesitated for a moment before replying.
“Where did Leveret go, Mother?”106Please respect copyright.PENANAD7ZDpj4mA9
Morwenna sighed.
“He is… ill.”106Please respect copyright.PENANA32jEEIvfci
She hissed.
“Is he-”106Please respect copyright.PENANADW25K08EOY
“He is perfectly fine, Virelai.”106Please respect copyright.PENANAlCD6oYloKi
“Mother, may I please-”106Please respect copyright.PENANAlKizMNQfmr
“No you may not. Go to the reception. This union is already off to a shaky start. Do not make it topple.”
Morwenna growled.106Please respect copyright.PENANAPe9rCOq7gU
“I shan’t, Mother. Do not fret.”106Please respect copyright.PENANABnT2HjSaBk
Morwenna glared over her shoulder as she started walking away.
“Shall not, Virelai. Contractions are for peasants and witches.”
Virelai nodded.
“Pardon my ignorance, Mother. It… shall not happen again.”
She whispered, clasping her hands together.
“Splendid. Now, go to the reception, Virelai. Punctuality is polite and polite is the key to this union.”
Morwenna’s whisper echoed, disappearing down the hall.106Please respect copyright.PENANA9DsJ4PL5t1
“Indeed, Mother.”
Virelai agreed before walking back down the hall towards the chapel.
“Madam…”106Please respect copyright.PENANAcN57WPqbVS
Philomath said, carefully choosing her words as she stepped out from behind a decorative suit of armour.
“You shall have to tell her the news at some point. She is a wise girl. She shall get suspicious eventually.”
“Nonsense. She just married that prince. Her mind shall be… occupied.”
“What if it is not, your majesty?”106Please respect copyright.PENANAETfyKtxYIl
“Then-”
Suddenly, her husband laid a hand on her shoulder.
“Morwenna?”106Please respect copyright.PENANAlsbGKTDfnI
The queen flashed around, a smile suddenly fixed on her face.
“Yes?”
“Whom were you talking to?”106Please respect copyright.PENANAw6BZI0ngFR
He inquired, drumming a finger on her shoulder.
Morwenna chuckled.
“No-one, dear.”106Please respect copyright.PENANAKtSUei3ySc
Thadewin blinked for a moment.
“If you insist.”
