"What if he's not alright?"
"Adrit, you must stop pacing."
"What if he's in pain? Do you think those rebels would let him be poisoned without pain?"
"Su'ni Anthipeia has already declared to the court that he is now awake and stable. He is fine."
"But what if he fell under again?"
"Syvia." Su'na Alescan Tharwenn held his young wife by the shoulders to stop her from taking another step. "You'll faint if you keep pacing."
"I'm worried." The Third Princess discontinued her pacing to wring her hands together. "Father called Ina into the central palace this morning."
"Maybe he will lift her confinement." The young Su'na Tharwenn tried to be positive. "Maybe she will be reinstated."
"No, Alescan, you don't understand. He will blame her for what's happened to Halen." Third Princess Syvia shook her head. "This is such a disaster."
