Vincent rubbed the back of his neck and stared straight ahead of him as he thought over what he had told his wife. Delaney could only look at her husband in surprise. He was fourth in line to inherit the throne.
It was still highly unlikely he would ever be King and she hoped he wouldn't be. If Vincent were to become King that would mean not only King Daniel would be dead, but Mason and the other two in line ahead of him as well, one of which was just a child. It would be tragic.
The other heirs to the throne had been murdered though according to what the King had told Vincent. A cut saddle strap and two cases of poison. Because of this, King Daniel was worried for his own safety as well as the safety of his brother and the other heirs. Vincent was fourth in line now with the others gone so his life could be at risk too.
Worry filled Delaney as she looked at her serious husband. She reached out and took his hand in her own.
