Chapter 48

" I warned you Malburt.' She said pacing around in her usual sackcloth, this time deep blue. ' I warned you but you wouldn't listen." She sounded worried that their plan had failed. She had waited for years to make see them get married, waited for years for the Kingdoms to unite.

" Calm down My Love. We have him in between our grips, he sure can't slip away." He replied, rubbing her back with his palms. He was sure the King would not want to stop the wedding. It would ruin his and his daughter's reputation. All the Kingdoms would mock him.

" What if he does? What if the King changes his mind?." She told her. She had witnessed the people scream and protest against the King. She knew what was at stake.

" He won't babe. Believe me that he has so many things to lose." He replied.

" We know he does Malburt but the people, the people are angry. They believe their King brought them ill luck by reuniting with the Reds."
