When Tiamat woke the following morning he was not surprised his wife was gone.
She was probably with the other ladies in waiting attending to Dragon Queen Leona.
He had overslept and no doubt in an hour or so he would be due to present himself for another audience with King Andrew as they finalized their plans for the next campaign.
Now he was glad that he hadn't struck the bet or he would have lost a substantial amount to Gritzl when he wagered that his life with Fiona could not get any more complicated than before the wedding.
No matter how he tried to keep his wife out of the thick of things, the lovely Fiona always managed to find herself smack dab in the midst of it all.
It seems his wife did not care much for her newest knife as she left it behind.
