“I think it would be wise if you have a moment where you’d mourn the loss of everyone along with the people. It makes you a king of the people and not a king above the people. After that, you can return to your royal duties and me and lady Davida will guide you to the best of our ability. As for lady Elanira, is there an assignment we could give her? She and her people have proven to be worthy warriors that could help guide our kingdom into the bright future your mother was working towards.” Melgrad knew what Elanira had done, at some point it would come out and when that time came and everything would collapse on top of Hinrik, he would finally have his inner-demon awaken. It was the bigger plan Melgrad had been working towards since the loss of Marcin.

“Milady, I’ve come with a report ... “ Kanto spoke as he sat in the open window. How many times had she told him to just use the door to enter her quarters? Probably far too many but this was just quicker. “It seems like the royal palace of Tolgeor is on high alert. Some ... low life thief tresspassed. The alert could cause some trouble to your cause. How do you wish for me to proceed?” The assassin asked as he stepped into the room and kneeled before his mistress.

Since she was still underneath the man, it was obvious that she was going to be covered in his blood but she gave him the order. “As you wish milady.” Swiftly the blade slid the man’s throat, letting plenty of blood spill out. He knew exactly where he could find the carotid artery, so it was natural that this amount of blood spilled from the wound. “I’m sorry for the messy.” He spoke calmly while cleaning his blade before putting it away and got the man off of her. “We should bathe you.”

"Also, the idea of you being in his arms, even if only for one night doesn't sit well with me. He doesn't deserve you in such a manner."

"There has to be another way."

“You’re the greastest mother he could have asked for and he is in very capable hands as well.” 

"What did you hear of the event between our king and his advisor? You must have eyes and ears everywhere."

"Please, you give me too much credit, lady Elanira. I've done what my brother would have wanted, reclaiming the royal throne for his son to sit upon, king Hinrik's rightful position in this beautiful kingdom. We're all happy to have you back among us but it wasn't easy and not without a price to pay." The oldest of the three spoke from his chair before raising his glass. "Let's drink to the fallen, that their lives will never be forgotten. I shall organize a proper funeral for all, we should also organize a moment for the people to say their final goodbye to your mother, Hinrik."
