Hunter remained silent while his love spoke, then once everyone had been dismissed, he sighed<br/><br/>"This stinks, but we shall have to play ball, I shall have a word with the Captain when I get the chance, to see if we can get a man on the inside to help us find out what our in laws are up too"<br/><br/>He ran a greaved hand over his face and thought for a second<br/><br/>"This is all going on too quickly, first we have a killer in the kingdom, then we have your sister and her husband running from a revolt, there is something running the show behind these encounters and we must find out if they are linked and work to quash them before they become bigger escapades, but for now my dear, until we know more, shall we retire to our coffins for the day?"<br/><br/>As Hunter was about to stand to walk with his wife, a messenger came into the room and bowed to him and handed him a message with the seal of one of his field generals on it. He groaned<br/><br/>"This can't be good..."<br/><br/>He dismissed the messenger and broke the seal on the letter, reading it slowly and then throwing the letter on his desk<br/><br/>"There has been some bad news my Queen, there has been a major offensive on our border and our men are doing badly, unfortunately, this means that my presence is required on the battlefield to rally the men and stop the invasion before it is too late, I must leave the realm immediately. I shall go and talk to the Captain, telling him that he shall be reporting to you directly from now on, I shall quickly outline my plan about your sisters security with him and then I shall be on my way"<br/><br/>Hunter walked out of the study, heading straight for the Captains office.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Andrew stood and bowed to the King and Queen once they had said their piece<br/><br/>"Thank you your Highness's, you are most kind, you have my fealty, I shall help in any way I can whenever you need an able body"<br/><br/>He was then dismissed with everyone else. He followed his love up to her room where they were staying for the night, a smile on his face the whole way. Once the door was closed, he breathed a sigh of relief<br/><br/>"That went better than planned, onto the next step, moving in and causing trouble"<br/><br/>He smiled to his wife<br/><br/>"I'm pleased with the way that went, especially since you were backing me up, those pathetic fools don't have a clue about what is happening until it is too late for them to do anything"<br/><br/>He sat down on the bed and laughed<br/><br/>"I cannot wait for us to move into our new home tomorrow my love, it shall be our home from home and once the invasion sweeps across the lands and joins us, we shall move on Phoenix castle and crush all that is within, taking the realm for ourselves"
