I fear what this will do to the court.” Madelia replied, her worry clear “Either way it’s not something small that we can just brush over, it needs to be thoroughly looked into. Besides, he said it was magic he doesn’t fucking recognise; I don’t see how it can be a mage then.” Theon replied coldly. “Either way, it might explain why the

I was relieved, knowing what this meant to Charlene, and the fact her powers were sealed meant they couldn’t keep pushing her so ruthlessly in training. The king and Theon had to just
