Chapter 121

Imprisoning their uncle wasn't a permanent solution, they both know it and Lord Benjen was well connected, he had friends in higher places. Killing his guards may have been their only choice but they would never dare take Benjen's life. 

"He's still our uncle, after all this… and he's the true heir of Old City" Gandalf told Lady Aryan when they were at the stable looking on the female lions who all successfully mated with the dead male. "Perhaps we should take it back"

A very stunned Aryan looked back at her brother "Take it back?" she was shocked. 

"It's our home, that's where we grew up sister. Old City belongs to the Squires as it has been for thousands of years. Artemis will have no choice but to give it back to me" 

"And what if he refuses? Do you really want to go to war during this time? After what happened in Stonedance? And for what ─ a city full of ruins? I say we stay here and rule a realm instead of ruling a city"
