As King Luceras stared at the man kneeling in front of the palace, he could feel the sourness that was slowly engulfing Icicles. While he had wanted to help Finch enamour her mate, now that General Jin Teng was here to talk to Finch, he felt conflicted.
Ingris had returned to Sleet Palace this morning and been ensconced with Finch since then. Whether she would succeed in brainwashing the girl or not, one could not say. But if she was successful,, then Ivruss was about to suffer another loss.
Seeing Jin Teng, he had assumed that Ivruss had probably sent Jin Teng with an official declaration of war. But then the man had requested an audience with Finch. Seeing the messenger walking back, King Luceras raised an eyebrow. The messenger bowed," Master, the princess will be here momentarily. The Queen says that the Princess is presently indisposed."
"Very Well. Invite General Jin Teng into my court."
A few minutes later:
"Jin Teng bows to the King."
