#Chapter247
/"I’m sorry what?,/" I let it slip, I think I’m breathless. What is he saying?
/"I think I’m clear. I want you to take over for me in the future,/" Nasias says calmly.
/"No you can’t do that!,/" I respond immediately. That is crazy, what is going on?!
/"Actually, I can. It’s my right to choose the next lord./"
/"Not entirely. The people should agree too!,/" I try to shake some sense in him.
/"The people will agree easily. They love you and consider you one of us. Today the Empress arrives and she will give us her blessing for your engagement and of course, we will inform her of this plan. I’m sure she will be delighted,/" he continues speaking with his soothing voice, like what he is saying isn’t something of big importance.
/"Does she know?,/" I ask, frightened by all this.
/"No, but she will learn./"
