Virelai rushed after her mother in a cold sweat.
“Mother! Mother-”12Please respect copyright.PENANAO5H5aonOC1
“Yes, child?!”12Please respect copyright.PENANAAr4zIQf0kn
The queen snapped, rubbing her temples.
Virelai hesitated for a moment before replying.
“Where did Leveret go, Mother?”12Please respect copyright.PENANA03h7MSVbef
Morwenna sighed.
“He is… ill.”12Please respect copyright.PENANApO0s653CCe
She hissed.
“Is he-”12Please respect copyright.PENANA3Q1NhS2MiX
“He is perfectly fine, Virelai.”12Please respect copyright.PENANA4796t8xlL5
“Mother, may I please-”12Please respect copyright.PENANAQTpRTJyngZ
“No you may not. Go to the reception. This union is already off to a shaky start. Do not make it topple.”
Morwenna growled.12Please respect copyright.PENANAqWOT3OoZp5
“I shan’t, Mother. Do not fret.”12Please respect copyright.PENANA4UUyOU5VPL
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.12Please respect copyright.PENANALqPbOxGzvn
“Indeed, Mother.”
Virelai agreed before walking back down the hall towards the chapel.
“Madam…”12Please respect copyright.PENANATgSYNVeNHF
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?”12Please respect copyright.PENANALdV16Ln7C5
“Then-”
Suddenly, her husband laid a hand on her shoulder.
“Morwenna?”12Please respect copyright.PENANALX2ZJhOSGb
The queen flashed around, a smile suddenly fixed on her face.
“Yes?”
“Whom were you talking to?”12Please respect copyright.PENANAUxhRbTEGNk
He inquired, drumming a finger on her shoulder.
Morwenna chuckled.
“No-one, dear.”12Please respect copyright.PENANAShpSDx0ZCD
Thadewin blinked for a moment.
“If you insist.”
