Virelai rushed after her mother in a cold sweat.
“Mother! Mother-”82Please respect copyright.PENANAWftJJo2BRd
“Yes, child?!”82Please respect copyright.PENANAy9LVZ2ShVB
The queen snapped, rubbing her temples.
Virelai hesitated for a moment before replying.
“Where did Leveret go, Mother?”82Please respect copyright.PENANAmSdyDhADc0
Morwenna sighed.
“He is… ill.”82Please respect copyright.PENANAswFqanJszp
She hissed.
“Is he-”82Please respect copyright.PENANAel7P59FIXL
“He is perfectly fine, Virelai.”82Please respect copyright.PENANAlJHZWgKObe
“Mother, may I please-”82Please respect copyright.PENANAWfVQpf5nX5
“No you may not. Go to the reception. This union is already off to a shaky start. Do not make it topple.”
Morwenna growled.82Please respect copyright.PENANAK4cVCnJCgB
“I shan’t, Mother. Do not fret.”82Please respect copyright.PENANAsCMslkR1OY
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.82Please respect copyright.PENANAgfXxo69Iwy
“Indeed, Mother.”
Virelai agreed before walking back down the hall towards the chapel.
“Madam…”82Please respect copyright.PENANALgO77mv6iU
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?”82Please respect copyright.PENANAPFwXuavfdU
“Then-”
Suddenly, her husband laid a hand on her shoulder.
“Morwenna?”82Please respect copyright.PENANAkDrvht2TMT
The queen flashed around, a smile suddenly fixed on her face.
“Yes?”
“Whom were you talking to?”82Please respect copyright.PENANAh6Km9Ah9wk
He inquired, drumming a finger on her shoulder.
Morwenna chuckled.
“No-one, dear.”82Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9VaakSbF3
Thadewin blinked for a moment.
“If you insist.”
