Chapter 117
It was well past midnight when the king walked into his chambers.
Heavy burdens stood on his shoulders, his face hard as rock.
The lightness that surrounded him as he left his chambers had long departed from him....especially after he heard the news of why the messenger came.
He'd always known that this day will come. He'd always done his best not to think about it. But, finally, it's here.
A day when he'll have to do the greatest duty required of him.
He has to take a wife. He has to have an heir. He has to form an allegiance with another great kingdom.
King Valendy has always been a good king, and he'd always supported good. When it comes to support, King Lucien knows that he has the support of that king.
King Valendy had sent his messenger to give him the message that would be of help to him.
The day before, he took an arrow in the chest and was sick, so he hadn't been able to attend the court meeting with other kings in Kingdom of Ijipt.
