Chapter 11: Rendesvous
“We propose to have his highness Leonardo take up more roles after he successfully implements the plan at the coven border. We have full trust in him and since he will succeed to the throne, we need to prepare him early enough for this role.”
I knew what they wanted. To push me out of the way and have my brother become king. Did it matter who ruled them as long as they controlled him?
“I like your suggestion. Especially when you said the word ‘successfully.’ If he succeeds, then this merits that he can be a good king.”
They looked at me dumbfounded. They expected me to reject the idea and shut their thoughts down. But I knew that someone was instigating the coven council. Until I discovered who it was I would play right into their silly thoughts.
“Any other suggestions?” I smiled and encouraged them to speak.
“No Highness,” they echoed in unison.
“Great.”
