Nidhogg’s Nest (Part 1)

"No, it's worse. Here's the plans for Lith's marriage with Phloria." Tista projected a hologram depicting a small, intimate ceremony in an old version of the Verhen House, making Lith's stomach churn.

"This instead is about the marriage with Faluel." The images now showed a tacky, grandiose celebration taking place inside the Hydra's lair, surrounded by piles of gold and precious gems. "Then there was Peonia-"

"Enough. We got the gist of it." Tista had just started to project a wedding ceremony in the Throne Room when Lith stopped her. "Good gods, it's even worse than I thought."

"You mean you didn't know?" Kamila was surprised and offended at the same time.

Surprised because Lith seemed to have been as oblivious as her and offended because there was no trace of a plan for their marriage.
