We sat leaning against a tree after Lucian told his men that we should rest for a while. I knew he was doing it for me.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"To Maebeth. To your family." He was going to ask my father to help in this war between brothers. "Will you really kill your brothers?" I asked carefully.
"Yes" he said without hesitation. I shivered at the thought.
"Even your nephews?" he clenched his jaw and closed his eyes, then opened them again.
"I won't have to kill them because my brothers will."
Why? They are just kids. Why kill your family for the throne? That's something I could never understand. Standing up "we should continue" he said. We continued our journey, and I was thankful that Maebeth wasn't far away from Decresh, so we reached there at night, after riding the whole day.
