Chapter 558: Chapter 558
Arthur's Point of View
Pendragon Estate
"We could always tie it to one of his antlers like an ornament." Marina suggested. "It is that time of the year."
I quirked a brow at that. "Given that you were created by Aydan, I suppose you three likely know all about the forming of the Lestranian Alliance." Lucia said with a smile. "How did you three celebrate over the years?" The chapters is up by N0vEI__bin
"Actually, I was referring to Chris-" Marina began, but I cut her off.
"Marina." She stopped and looked at me. "You can talk about that with Lucia later." My eyes focused on her more intently. "In private."
She gave a nod in return. "Of course, Father." Lucia seemed surprised at that.
As did a few of the others. "Getting back on track..." I turned to Breeze. "Given the time of the year, I'll have you two head out in two weeks. While you're here, enjoy whatever time you have. If you want to head into the city, ask for an escort. Greigh or Ziah will be able to help and keep people calm." My gaze shifted to the two Zugal. "Right?"
"We've already spread word about three 'spirits' that've taken up residence with you. Many have already seen Breeze from a distance, so there shouldn't be any problems." Greigh answered.
My attention turned to the Elven General. "As she has proven time and time again, she possesses an uncanny knack for adapting. Her knowledge of magic is also useful. More specifically, her ability to modify it for the task at hand." I turned back to Aydalia. "Have her finish whatever tasks she's working on with those crystals when she can."
Aydalia nodded. "I will let her know you need her help."
My attention turned to Rock. "You can come and go as you please. If you do leave, please let someone know. Specifically, me." He bounced and cracked the floor again, but quickly fixed the stone himself. "Thank you." I then looked over the group. "Is there anything else?"
"Priestess Elincia-" Alwin began, but I quickly cut him off.
"Anything besides a Priestess in need of something?" I specified. Many of the group looked around. "No? Then everyone have a good day. If anyone needs me, I'll be here for a few more minutes. After that, I'll be out in the courtyard overseeing training."
Our little meeting ended, and I was left alone with Aydalia. "Sir." She said softly as the door closed.
"Yes?"
"Why are you doing all this? The Summit? Trying to bring in the Dragons and Seafolk will be almost impossible. What could my daughter possibly do to help? I don't understand what you're trying to do."
Standing, I turned to face her. "Do you trust me?" I asked her.
She seemed a little surprised at the question. "I do." Aydalia answered after a moment.
"Then trust that I have my reasons. Thana has been kept in check for the moment, but it won't stay that way for long. Everything moving forward is all towards the same goal. Survival." I told her.
