As the carriages rode through the forests towards Fireland, King Jeer was on his horse and rode alongside his men to protect the women in the carriages. He was particularly close to the one that held his betrothed.
He was one of the few that could read through the smokescreen that she had put up on her face and demeanor, and that made him angry at himself for he knew that he was the cause of it. But there was nothing he could do to alleviate that helplessness feeling she was probably feeling. This was because in as much as he did not want to admit it, he was scared.
The one and only king if Fireland carried a big secret that made him so scared in approaching his betrothed and he could do nothing about it!
