Previously, in The Lord and the Footman, Viviette shocked them by being open to an alternative marriage arrangement...

Ian’s entire universe shifted. “You…what?”

Mickey tensed. “Woman, you can’t say things like this lightly.”

She nodded, gaining steam. “A husband I don’t have to bed every night? Freedom for us to explore who we want? It’s brilliant.”

“You’d be expected to produce an heir.”

She scoffed. “Maybe I’m barren. Maybe Silva down at the pub can help. He has red hair.”

Ian felt hope bubbling. “You’d live a lie to help us? People would talk.”

Hello everyone! Thank you to @twinklyylights for this week's @galladrabbles prompt: Dinner Party.

Continuing my fantasy AU.

The Sellsword and the Mage, Part 68:

It’s dark by the time they reach the kingdom’s edge.

There is a campfire, vibrant against the darkness, near the boundary stones. Barks of laughter emanate from it.

A voice calls out as they draw near. “Lad! Come! Break bread with us!”

Mickey brings his horse to a stop. “Uncle Ronnie. Sorry, no time for dinner parties. We’re on a schedule.”

“That what you callin’ it? Being runout of a kingdom? Think we wouldn’t hear? You angered a queen. Think that wouldn’t have consequences?” The man’s eyes slide to Ian and Mickey tenses in his saddle.
