Chapter 31: A Confrontation
We finally arrived at the castle and I had to draw in a deep breath when I saw the whole family waiting for us. This was it, home sweet home! I thought wryly to myself just as the coach man opened the door. Reagan was the first to get down from the carriage, he then held out his hand so he could help me down. I grabbed it and I had assumed he was going to let go of my hand but Reagan held on to me tightly.
When I turned to look back at the rest of the family, I noticed their whole gaze rested on Reagan's and I entwined fingers. I drew courage from Reagan's hand in mine and approached the family. Marina cleared her throat when we stopped in front of them.
"You need a bath!" She said particularly to me.
"Good morning to you too mother." Reagan said as he went ahead to hug his mom.
Marina gave him a hug, before she eased away and began inspecting him. "Are you okay? Hope you are not hurt? You look a little bit lean?"
We had just spent three days outside which I'm sure is nothing compared to the months he spends in the enemy's camp. I feel like someone needs to remind her what her son does because she seems to have forgotten.
I cleared my throat and her eyes turned to look at mine, offering me a strained smile, she nodded her head. "Good to see you are doing okay too."
"Thank you." I mumbled.
Marina grunted at me in response before she turned to look at dearest son, "You must come with me." She said already leading him away, "There are matters that need to be discussed."
