Virelai rushed after her mother in a cold sweat.
“Mother! Mother-”94Please respect copyright.PENANA64ixyBGwuT
“Yes, child?!”94Please respect copyright.PENANAr5JUNKlLam
The queen snapped, rubbing her temples.
Virelai hesitated for a moment before replying.
“Where did Leveret go, Mother?”94Please respect copyright.PENANAhjMvZdYNBV
Morwenna sighed.
“He is… ill.”94Please respect copyright.PENANA4iKZW4AIHE
She hissed.
“Is he-”94Please respect copyright.PENANAnZksCbiCuJ
“He is perfectly fine, Virelai.”94Please respect copyright.PENANAZraKCKN1MC
“Mother, may I please-”94Please respect copyright.PENANALx2xVadZIf
“No you may not. Go to the reception. This union is already off to a shaky start. Do not make it topple.”
Morwenna growled.94Please respect copyright.PENANAahHQGgjY4L
“I shan’t, Mother. Do not fret.”94Please respect copyright.PENANAKMdagcSIMh
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANAke9ClYhQVE
“Indeed, Mother.”
Virelai agreed before walking back down the hall towards the chapel.
“Madam…”94Please respect copyright.PENANAgLWqwAsb0l
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?”94Please respect copyright.PENANA9s08cxg45z
“Then-”
Suddenly, her husband laid a hand on her shoulder.
“Morwenna?”94Please respect copyright.PENANAUafcajedHM
The queen flashed around, a smile suddenly fixed on her face.
“Yes?”
“Whom were you talking to?”94Please respect copyright.PENANAZTWwIvQnCn
He inquired, drumming a finger on her shoulder.
Morwenna chuckled.
“No-one, dear.”94Please respect copyright.PENANAbb8X8QFpi1
Thadewin blinked for a moment.
“If you insist.”
