Work talks (2)

After listening to Alexander's plan and helping him correct some details, I have to admit that it is wicked for real. He has a talent for coming up with creative solutions.

What I like the most about it, though, is that I will have a role. It's a first, and I'm not sure it's because my husband is starting to trust me. But it's a start.

«This fief isn't on the way from Asteria to Kyre,» I comment. «There are plenty of better roads... It's not even the fastest while going to the capital, but it depends where one resides. I guess my uncle either was in Asteria's capital or at his father's fief. Both are far from here.»

«Hence, it can't be a coincidence,» Alexander sighs. «He passed here on purpose.»

«Asteria is aiming at Ethiro, and this time they don't need two wars to get to Polis. It all comes together.»
