Chapter 246: Should there be a royal wedding?
Sigrid contained her excitement. She recalled when she thought of leaving the Shadowmere’s to their fate. Saving them had been the right move, it seemed. They were officially aligning themselves with her by sending their daughter her way.
"What kind of freedom are you looking to pursue?" Sigrid asked her.
Christie shook her head. "I don’t know, I always thought that freedom for me meant being the captain of a ship and sailing all over the world. My family however would rather marry me off than see that happening. My grandfather does not agree and neither does my mother who cried herself into a faint the last time I suggested it. But, I figured some things out when I saw that footage of Mauve flying over the boarder on the back of her butterfly."
"Its a moth." Mauve corrected.
"That." Christie nodded, her eyes did not stray from Sigrid. "She followed you to war and when time comes and the opportunity is presented to go to Medoris, Solandor and other empires far away, she will follow you. I realized that maybe I do not need a ship to see the world, I just need you."
"Stand up and sit down." Sigrid told her.
Mauve scooted closer to Sigrid, moving herself along with her chair and she whispered, "Are we taking her in? She is here for benefits, can we trust her?"
"I will sleep on it and send word when I decide what to do. Should I say yes, you should know before hand that loyalty is the number one expectation I have of those who serve me." Sigrid informed Christie.
"And obedience." Mauve pitched in.
