"You think that the king would agree? I mean, Geoffrey is his son."
"The situation now seems good. The king favors me and is starting to get suspicious with Geoffrey's activities."
Serena furrowed her brows, Geoffrey was the king's son, why would he be suspicious with his own son's activities?
Charlton seeing her expression explained, "It's a bit complicated how politics work. Geoffrey is next in line to the throne and my uncle's health is not as good as it used to be. He fears that Geoffrey's influence has already eclipsed his."
"I see… so, when will your mother be arriving?"
"If not next week, probably the week after. If everything works out splendidly, perhaps after a month…" Charlton was saying but stopped when Serena covered his mouth with her own. He looked at her in surprise.
Serena smiled as she pulled away, "Don't jinx it. Anyway, we have to head back now."
