Book 4: Chapter 5
“…I see. I think I get the gist.”
It was the morning after Wein arrived in Mealtars. Ninym had brought Wein up to speed.
He crossed his arms. “I’m not surprised she was done in during the ceremony. And I knew you would turn down a deal with Lowa. But I never would have guessed there would be an attack and a marriage proposal.”
“I’m sorry. If we had returned home right after the attack, we could have avoided the proposal.”
“You didn’t do anything wrong, Ninym. If I had been here, we would have stayed. Think of it as a good thing. Now we know to watch out for Demetrio… Yawn.”
“Are you okay, Wein?”
“I guess I went overboard. I’m pooped.”
I’m gonna sleep for three days straight when we get back, Wein silently schemed.
“The real problems start now. The biggest two issues are how to peacefully turn down Demetrio’s marriage proposal and get everyone home in one piece. If possible, I’d also like to sit down with Prince Bardloche and Prince Manfred.”
