"I am afraid that would not be possible, Zed," King Jaren said. "We cannot bring Raven here, and if Raven can't come, Mana wouldn't come, either." He paused for a moment and then glanced at Queen Dora, before turning back to the old man. "However, we certainly be happy to invite you to visit us as an honoured guest," King Jaren added.
Zed shook his ruefully. "I am afraid I am not in a position to go to the Emerald Kingdom at the moment, King Jaren. I must go to the Amber Kingdom urgently," he murmured.
"What a coincidence, master," Queen Dora said. "We will be heading to the Amber Kingdom ourselves in a couple of days."
The old man raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Why are you going to the Amber Kingdom?" he asked curiously.
"Jaren's daughter Astra is betrothed to Crown Prince Mars of the Amber Kingdom," Queen Dora said.
Zed frowned. "Sora's daughter? And Orion's son?" he asked.
