King Brian looked to his son once more, as Helena did explain, and once he saw the mark, there was nothing more he could say. She had proven all that needed to prove. "My dear girl, the only thing that will heal me is death, I am old, and my time is drawing to an end. I am content with that, I have had a pleasant life, and a healthy rule over Miskrenia" The King replied to her. "I do not ask for any proof, but let it be known, shall you betray Miskrenia, then you shall face trial, and of course punishment in contempt to treason... do you understand?" The King questioned her with scrutiny. He looked to his son and nodded. "If a marriage, is to appease yourself, and the Angel Dragon, then I can not disagree it. For my ancestors once wrote that if you and the Angel Dragon, agreed something, it would henceforth over-rule the King's rule... of course there were obvious exceptions. No power would hold more than the other etc" The King explained to Jeremy and Helena.<br/><br/>Jeremy looked at Helena, in a way he was glad his father had agreed their marriage, but he had only just met her, and she was so much older than he. What if things didn't work, or was he just doomed to this proposed marriage, without much speech from him. Jeremy thought this was a bit of a ridiculous rule, but he could not argue with his father. Jeremy wanted to tell him to get healed, but he knew his father wanted to go soon, if only to join Esmeralda in the Heavens and watch over them. "I guess, I get no say then" He muttered bitterly, he was sure Helena was lovely, but he didn't want to marry someone because he was told to. He wanted to marry out of love. Like his father had been able to.
