We went over the plans again and decided to rest. Marcel planned on introducing Hardy and Casey to the ladies in the harem, but I doubted they were up for it. They still had eyes only for Zora. Anyway, I let them go about their businesses. I hurried back to my room.
On my way, I saw my mother at my door. She must have been knocking. I wondered why she did not bother to link me.
“Why didn’t you link me?” I asked her, and she smiled.
“I have a headache just thinking that bitch’s son is in here.” She said, and I sighed.
I opened my door and let her into my room.
“I can’t believe Zora would betray me and be nice to them,” she said, sounding petty, and I hugged her.
“You have to let it go, mother. Alissa is gone, and so is father. David did not ask for any of this. You can’t continue to feel this way about him,” I said, breaking the hug.
“Do you know you were the reason he went into hiding?” I told her, and she widened her eyes in surprise.
“I did not do anything to him. He is lying,” she said quickly, defending herself, and I shook my head.
“He didn’t say you did anything to him, mother. I am just telling you why he went into hiding. Jenny told him you were looking for him,” I said, and she swore at Jenny.

“And while she was at it, did she tell him she was the one that killed his mother out of jealousy or did she pin that on me, too?” She asked, and I shook my head. I did not even give him that bit of information.
“I need you to look past our differences, mother, and make it work. These people are making use of our grudges and shortcomings. We must ensure they can’t use any of those things anymore.” I said, and she looked at me and sighed.
“How is he?” she finally asked me the real question she wanted to ask. Deep down, she did not hate David. Her anger was towards my father and Alissa. I smiled at her and looked at her.
“Maybe you should see him yourself. After all, you took care of him before they sent him to Grizlo,” I said, and her face coloured.
“I do not know what to tell him or what he would think of me. I feel bad
that I suspected he was behind everything,” she confessed, and I nodded
“We all do. He did not even want to be lord, mother. He did not care at all. He just wanted to be left alone. Jenny even made him sign agreements that he would not lay claim to anything or get involved with anything.” I said, and she cursed.
“That bitch. She must have wanted him out of the way for her son’s sake.” she said and looked at me.
“Are you sure Jenny did not know where her son was or who he is? That bitch could not have done all this if she did not know. She did not look like someone who had lost something precious to her. I think she knew where her son was and was in communication with him before I ended her,” my mother said, making a very valid observation, one we had never thought of.
If what my mother was saying was true, my guess might not be far from the truth, and he might be behind all this. I also could not dismiss the clue that the king is old. Could they be the same, or could he be another idiot

and pawn like Liam? Something the uprising wanted to use for personal benefit and discard, or worse, could they have eliminated him after the death of his mother just like they wanted to eliminate David? There were many questions, and I did not know where to start.
My mother excused herself from the room, and I relaxed on the bed. A short nap would get me to where I wanted to be. Zora had hers and was probably catching up with David’s wife. I won’t be surprised if Eloise and Kara were with her too. I guess I would just sleep a bit to gather my strength. The next day would be tedious, and I need all the energy I could
get.
