"Ah -ha!" Clalen's father held up a finger. "That's th epoint. You worked together. Or at least for a little anyways. I heard no noises from the walls, and if I remember correctly, the passageways are often quite...ringy, shall we say...and I have often heard my sons or my advisor's grandchildren talking as they move through the castle."

" we had common interests. Theres no other reason. "

"When making an alliance, having common interests is one of the most important things. For example, your parents and my wonderful wife and I all want peace and unity. That is what binds us together, although hwe may not feel like it. For you and Callen, you both want out of the mairrage and you have a common interest in escaping anything we plan for you two. That is what binds the two of you together."

" I doubt we will become closer because we both want out of the marriage. Becoming closer will make it harder for us to be apart. "

"Well, you still hav eplenty of time to change your mind about that, since we have to postpone the wedding. Hopefully there won't be more assasins...I am truly sorry this happened and I have no idea how the guards let that slip past." the king muttered to himself.

She just shrugged. " i doubt that..." she muttered.

A servant hurried in. "Excuse me, Your Majesty? Your son is requesting to see you."

The king nodded, then turned to the other royal family. "We will meet soon. Stay safe, and Sera, do think over it some more. I think you and Callen would make a good match." he said, leaving.

" lets go home. " Sera said to her parents once he left.

They nodded, and stood.

(Whats next?)
