Virelai rushed after her mother in a cold sweat.
“Mother! Mother-”42Please respect copyright.PENANAe4atNVEUyD
“Yes, child?!”42Please respect copyright.PENANAIfBmGwee25
The queen snapped, rubbing her temples.
Virelai hesitated for a moment before replying.
“Where did Leveret go, Mother?”42Please respect copyright.PENANAkRwuq5ANi5
Morwenna sighed.
“He is… ill.”42Please respect copyright.PENANAkNYOVHXBj7
She hissed.
“Is he-”42Please respect copyright.PENANAzF8HJIGeJl
“He is perfectly fine, Virelai.”42Please respect copyright.PENANAUcNLPKWEpk
“Mother, may I please-”42Please respect copyright.PENANAqgKbSkeuti
“No you may not. Go to the reception. This union is already off to a shaky start. Do not make it topple.”
Morwenna growled.42Please respect copyright.PENANAWpevEqe0PE
“I shan’t, Mother. Do not fret.”42Please respect copyright.PENANAmknLSp63ct
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.42Please respect copyright.PENANAd2nOsv26Oj
“Indeed, Mother.”
Virelai agreed before walking back down the hall towards the chapel.
“Madam…”42Please respect copyright.PENANAN21bd0Arzq
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?”42Please respect copyright.PENANAuvezQpQYOY
“Then-”
Suddenly, her husband laid a hand on her shoulder.
“Morwenna?”42Please respect copyright.PENANA7LyLA49GmH
The queen flashed around, a smile suddenly fixed on her face.
“Yes?”
“Whom were you talking to?”42Please respect copyright.PENANAFdEHXddL4T
He inquired, drumming a finger on her shoulder.
Morwenna chuckled.
“No-one, dear.”42Please respect copyright.PENANAQnZOdJvoVR
Thadewin blinked for a moment.
“If you insist.”
