Elise and Loriel did not see each other for the next months after the wedding. Even though the man kept it to himself, it was known that Loriel was in a terrible state and was a complete wreck after his mother's death.
The man only pulled himself together when some truth came to light about the wedding.
Loriel didn't think it would be true that his sisters and brothers-in-law would actually do something during the day of the wedding, but they actually did.
It wasn't the reason for his mother's death, but there was still evidence that led to them actually using poison for not only the king and queen but important guests.
Another act of rebellion.
Especially now that Loriel kept to himself for some time to grieve, the people who were eyeing the throne started to make some moves to vie for it. In one of the borders of Summeria, enemy soldiers were encroaching.
