Chapter 16 _ Mind of a King
King Heralf grinned as he read and reread all of the letters that had been delivered to him. If his calculations were correct then King Griggory's Champion Ball was just a few more days away.
He had received his daughter's official notice several days prior to the page that was currently in his hands. It stated that she had been invited to the Champions' Ball as the Trade King's personal guest and as such she would not be returning to Rramnon along with Sir Aaldrick. The letter was brief and did little to put his uneasiness at bay.
Thankfully his informants in Terrafeuw had kept him better notified on Princess Gwenwyn's accomplishments.

There was little chance that she'd actually managed to marry the Terrafein King. Too many precautionary steps had been taken. After all, Heralf was the Militant King.
He'd be the one responsible for acquiring Terrafeuw, and he'd do it with his own hands.
King Heralf just needed his daughter to stay in Terrafeuw until he deemed necessary.
