Eleanor's eyes widened in surprise. "You mean, right now?"
"Yes," Ares nodded. "Is it a bad idea?"
"Is it possible?" Eleanor cocked her head to the side, her eyes glinting with curiosity.
Ares smiled, relieved that she wasn't dismissing the idea outright. "It's possible,"
She pursed her lips thoughtfully "I thought you'd want a grand, public ceremony to solidify your position. And I certainly didn't expect Princess Thea to attend."
"Thea's presence is no surprise to me. As the future fairy queen, she recognizes Kaiser's inadequacy in protecting her kind from potential vampire threat. Her attendance is a calculated move, not a show of support."
Eleanor's eyebrows arched. "Is it because of their blood?" she asked, but Ares remained tight-lipped, sensing she was trying to gauge the value of fairies and phoenixes.
He simply sighed and shook his head. "It's their potions."
