The King's plan

"I understand, father, but it is not clever to go back with your health declining either," Ravina argued. 

Her father smiled gently. "Many kings rule without their health intact." 

"It is different now, and Andrew is incapable of doing anything." 

"That is why he needs to go back," Ares argued. "Andrew's harmlessness is what will bring harm. He might not be the danger, but he is weakening the kingdom's defenses, and soon we will have bigger enemies to deal with when they can easily infiltrate." He explained. "I would have left him to dig his own grave, but it will be at the expense of innocent people."

Ravina tried to argue, but she had to find the right words. "His health is more important."
