Reginald glared at Wesley. He did not like this newcomer. King Geoffrey had agreed to the marriage, it didn't matter what Kiara wanted. Cyrch needed a king, not a queen on the throne. Each day it was becoming more and more evident that King Geoffrey's rule was coming to an end.<br/><br/>"It does not matter-"<br/><br/>Reginald was about tell Wesley it did not matter what Kiara wanted when Navarez interrupted them. By the gods, Reginald hated the lower classes. People needed to know their places in the world. Loxem was nothing like this. King Geoffrey and his daughter let people get away with way too much. When he was crowned king, things would definitely change around here. Reginald barely listened to the Captain, but the king did. He nodded his head to Navarez.<br/><br/>"You are right, Navarez. Sir Wesley is our guest. Set up a guest room for him."<br/><br/>He told a nearby servant, who bowed to the king and hurried away to carry out his order. King Geoffrey was always a gracious host, even if he had no idea why his daughter had brought the man from New Jersey here. Kiara smirked as Reginald attempted to talk but Navarez quickly put the arrogant Duke in his place. She could tell how much Reginald hated it and it made her smile even more. When Navarez apologized to her, she whispered back.<br/><br/>"You are quite right, he is an ass. There is nothing to forgive."<br/><br/>Instead, Kiara thought, she should reward the Captain for shutting up the Duke. She was pleased that her father was going to let Wesley stay in the castle. Hopefully, she would get a chance to ask him about the lake. King Geoffrey loved to entertain guests and asked Wesley.<br/><br/>"When was the last time you ate? We will have a grand feast in your honor. You must tell me, Kiara, and Navarez all about New Jersey."<br/><br/>"Feast?! But-"<br/><br/>Reginald wanted Wesley to be gone but before he could declare that any feast should be for him and Kiara's engagement, Navarez remembered why he had approached them. King Geoffrey was already sending more servants off to prepare the banquet hall for a feast for Wesley, when Navarez told him the message.<br/><br/>"Yes, of course."<br/><br/>As the king's mind was starting to go, so was his eyesight. When Navarez said it was regarded Wesley's son, she said.<br/><br/>"His son? Please read it right away, Navarez."<br/><br/>Kiara prayed there was nothing with Brandis. Although she did wonder how the sorceress knew of Wesley's presence. She was a very powerful person, however, she probably knew everything that happened all over the world.<br/><br/>------------------------<br/><br/>Audrey squeezed Brandis' hand.<br/><br/>"It will mean more coming from you, Brandis."<br/><br/>The doctor could write a letter but it would mean nothing. Doctor Stevens had never met Wesley before he slipped into his coma.<br/><br/>"Trenton and I will help you."<br/><br/>Trenton nodded his head and took a piece of a paper.<br/><br/>"If you say it, I'll write it down."<br/><br/>Trenton offered. He wanted to help and he could tell Brandis might not be able to think and write the letter down on his own. Audrey nodded her head to the doctor.<br/><br/>"Yes, of course. We'll visit Wesley soon."<br/><br/>As soon as she and Trenton helped Brandis write the letter. Once it was just her and the boys, she smiled at Brandis. It was sweet he thought of her as a mom, but she didn't want him to get too comfortable with the idea. Surely once they got Wesley back, life would go back to the way it was...At least for him and her.<br/><br/>"It's okay to cry. He's your father, you love him and you want him to come home. We will get through this all together."<br/><br/>Like a family, she thought but she didn't want to give Brandis any false hope of what her role in his life would be later.
