Caelum was about to answer her, but Fiona beat him to it, ''Yes, we are,'' she said. ''Would you like to join us?''
He was shocked when he heard his wife ask the kingdom's queen to join them on their trip to Drakonia. He was just about to apologize until Llyniel answered with an honest smile, ''I would love that as I'm going that way anyway.''
Fiona beamed before speaking, ''We left our wagon at the Merchant's Depot.''
Llyniel nodded and started walking with the two of them but made a point of standing away from Caelum. Her behavior baffled him, but he did not say anything as the two women gossiped with each other.
Caelum was left to his thoughts while they strolled down the cobbled street, passing people and soldiers. He noticed that no one recognized Llyniel, who was dressed like a typical farmer, which made him internally chuckle, as he knew this particular queen was vital for her age.
