It had been a few days since Jillian, Theodore and their troops had traveled from their base to Keintheart through the outer roads of the kingdom. They intended to attack Keintheart through the forest path so as not to be noticed by Keintheart's soldiers when they would come to attack.
During the journey, Jillian was mostly silent because her current situation was not good enough for her. She had heard about Dion's marriage to Abelia which made her feel hurt.
She also felt awkward around Theodore after he confessed his feelings to her. Jillian was worried that those feelings would only grow. But something occurred to her at this moment.
'If Dion is married to Abelia, it means that Dion's current wife is Abelia and not me. If I accept Theo's feelings, will I be able to have him completely without anyone trying to take him away?' she thought at the time.
