His doesn't have to be near mine, but I would appreciate it your generosity also takes him into consideration. He may be your competition, but he is also a good man, he deserves no less." She noticed this was a very big step for her. No mermaid or mermen told the king what to do.
"He is also my friend. Of course he can stay in the palace. And don't worry, Women close to me are immune to that rule... 😉 "
"How do you know this, my lord?.. I don't mean to question you.. I trust you very much." Ewan swallowed hard and continued. "What must I do, lord?" The prospect of being in a war scared him very much, but he trusted and respected King Thay. He also loved his home. He would do it if it would help the kingdom.
Lila sat in her room. It was furnished very nicely, with bright colors and gems. Warm sheets layered the bed for when the waters turned cold. Windows lead to the flowered courtyard. It was down the hall from Thay's. After thinking for a moment she got up and swam over to his room and knocked on the door lightly. There wasn't an answer, so she searched the palace for him. She found him in his throne. She swam before him and bowed. "May I take a moment of your time, my lord?"
