"I need to go to Summeria as soon as possible," Mars said when he entered his dining room. Edgar and Gewen were waiting for him to have dinner together. They both looked up when they heard his arrival.
Mars' words made Edgar immediately feel uneasy. He knew Mars would want to go and get his wife when he knew Emmelyn was still alive.
Ah... if only it was that easy. If Mars went to Summeria, he might as well get himself killed.
Edgar had not told Mars what King Loriel said to him before he left Castilse. The Summerian king indirectly declared war by threatening to take back everything he considered stolen from him, which were Emmelyn, Harlow, and Wintermere.
Edgar did not readily tell Mars about it because he thought it would only incite the young king's anger. Edgar was worried Mars would take rash actions because he was really upset.
No.. no... they couldn't do that. They still needed to revive the queen, punish Ellena, and deal with the Prestons.
