“That’s not necessary.”

“All right, Blain.” She gently patted his head. “Good decision. If I did, things would get coring, right?” He didn’t respond, so she continued, “Wait a little longer and it will all fall into your hands. It’ll be much better than a puppet like that man. Don’t be too impatient.”

She looked at him affectionately, but he said nothing. Leaning over, she ran a hand through his hair.

“It will all be yours,” she whispered. “Leah, this country…this continent…”

Her ambition could not be satisfied with this small kingdom alone. Cerdina was convinced she would achieve everything her heart desired.

“Regarding the hunt, I’ve already heard about it.” She smiled slightly. She was aware of the real reason for Blain’s visit. “I was a bit surprised at first, but what does it matter, if the beasts were watching me anyway. Better to meet them at a place I’ve prepared.”

She supported Blain’s decision. It had been a timely thing to do. Finally, he spoke.

“Even if I’m putting you in danger?” His voice was strained, and he clenched his fists, his veins bulging under his pale skin. “Will you support me, too?”

Cerdina’s eyes widened, but quickly she relaxed her face.

“Of course, Blain. I’m sure you have your reasons. If you needed it, I would provide you with my corpse. Anything you want. I’ll make sure you keep the crown, my dear son.”

Her voice was loving, cloying, insensate. Listening to her left a bitter taste in his mouth.
