Klara kept glancing Lucian's way as we ate our breakfast, while the King and Lucian spoke informally with each other, which surprised me. The King was willing to help Lucian as they were already speaking of how to win this war. I only feared he would ask for something in exchange. Something bad.

"You should stay here until the King dies, then we will take action," the King said. As if waiting for someone's death was a daily occurrence.

"We have a party tonight. I hope you can attend after you have rested," he then said to me and Lucian.

"Of course" Lucian replied.

"Astrid, why don't you take them to a nice room. I am sure they would like to rest."
