I had not seen Felicity and Lucien from that day on. I stayed in bed for a few days to recover from the repercussion. So I hoped they were just here for sight-seeing.
Prince Lucien of Edehan had been driven out of the country by Lord Astor last year. After that he had come to Arerin and asked King Louis for help. Prince Lucien had claimed that he was related to the royal family of Arerin and they should help him reclaim his country.
King Louis refused of course.
Related? All royal families were related in some way or other. Help? That meant going to war. Why should our country go to war to help him reclaim his country? King Louis had politely suggested (former) Prince Lucien to go travelling. And more importantly, leave our capital. Who knew what others thought?
