Lillian cupped her son's jaw and gave him a kiss on his forehead. She then gave an approving smile and praised her son, "From the way you had shut me off before you were kept under the house, I was worried that you might have disagreed with my plan. But I was right to make all the arrangements before you were released. Now all you need to do is sit and wait for the right time."
Edwin did not like the sound of it. Sitting and waiting meant that there were already some people working for whatever his mother was planning.
So he asked his mother again, "I need to do nothing? Then may I at least know who will be working for us? And how?"
Lillian gave a sinister smirk and then boasted about her new allies, "I have managed to strike a deal with the new King of Mihir. They will attack Wyverndale within six months and overthrow King Dragomir. Then you will be appointed as the new King of Wyverndale while King Reginald will be the Emperor."
