"My liege." Garrick seized my attention. "You've been quiet than usual. Is there something on your mind?"
There were many.
I leaned back on my chair and crossed my legs. "When will she be here?"
"Soon, my liege. How was your meeting with Ravyn?"
I smiled. "Nothing gets past you, does it? But of course I wanted you to know."
"Ravyn is wild."
"Yes, but her house has great power, one of the oldest families, on the same par with House Altherin."
"Her house has never supported the crown before. Her family chose that way. Ravyn followed you to war because you both grew up together. But she has served her time in war; she aims for non-political life now."
"I didn't go there for me but for Eloise's sake."
"What?" Garrick asked in shock. "But she has power now with Princess Diana as her ally."
