Virelai rushed after her mother in a cold sweat.
“Mother! Mother-”41Please respect copyright.PENANAHkao0Lyaie
“Yes, child?!”41Please respect copyright.PENANASe5WPKPadx
The queen snapped, rubbing her temples.
Virelai hesitated for a moment before replying.
“Where did Leveret go, Mother?”41Please respect copyright.PENANAmpnaXJ57xK
Morwenna sighed.
“He is… ill.”41Please respect copyright.PENANArCe6W7qjTl
She hissed.
“Is he-”41Please respect copyright.PENANADpbkBWTREy
“He is perfectly fine, Virelai.”41Please respect copyright.PENANAna4khDS1oX
“Mother, may I please-”41Please respect copyright.PENANAWI4I3vLUjG
“No you may not. Go to the reception. This union is already off to a shaky start. Do not make it topple.”
Morwenna growled.41Please respect copyright.PENANAvKG1xI1fJ9
“I shan’t, Mother. Do not fret.”41Please respect copyright.PENANA4YgLjJwBRr
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.41Please respect copyright.PENANAvDuUbcFUOh
“Indeed, Mother.”
Virelai agreed before walking back down the hall towards the chapel.
“Madam…”41Please respect copyright.PENANAANmenQTiCT
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?”41Please respect copyright.PENANAoiHyvmNW5U
“Then-”
Suddenly, her husband laid a hand on her shoulder.
“Morwenna?”41Please respect copyright.PENANAtEakV1YDap
The queen flashed around, a smile suddenly fixed on her face.
“Yes?”
“Whom were you talking to?”41Please respect copyright.PENANAtbWkwKY1Ic
He inquired, drumming a finger on her shoulder.
Morwenna chuckled.
“No-one, dear.”41Please respect copyright.PENANAdDeqih5ymi
Thadewin blinked for a moment.
“If you insist.”
