Reflection On The Past Now what should she do about this development? She and her sisters had watched them since their arrival in Sanc. Their rivalry had progressed to something more, becoming admiration. Whilst one was intent on an intimate association with the other, that worthy had eyes only for the King. She thought it rather cute. Stifling a smirk she smoothed her skirt and sipped her sparkling mineral water. There could be no clouding of her reason in her duty to guard. They had lost all but two of the direct Peacecraft bloodline and now there was a third, a new generation for them to cosset from a distance. He was a warrior. One of the old blood reborn, knowing the weight of a sword and the burden of blood on his hands. Such made the best Kings, they knew what it was to kill and could mark the greater virtue of peace. Unavoidably sometimes one had to be tempered in fire. This King had known the bite of flames at a tender age. There had been no peace for him in the interim years nor would there be until his death. A sad truth but she had never been a fool and knew the price paid by those who shaped the world. It had not been easy, keeping him alive. Seven of the Sisterhood had died that night. Four died to ensure the Princess escaped with the Darlian family, another two en-route to their safe house. The seventh, her blood sister, died ensuring the Prince reached the secret passage that had delivered him to the woods. He should have been picked up at the outlet by another Sister, but her attention had been on distracting the Alliance and keeping them from the woods. They had come so close to losing him. The Peacecraft bloodline was to be put to death but the Alliance hunters had failed to complete their stalk and written their own doom. A gutsy child, brave beyond his years, who escaped and gave himself into their care. //I doubt you remember me. Certainly not my face but you have always played your cards close to your chest, my King. They look on you as their prey. Those seeking to control you within political circles we must counter carefully. These women seeking more from you… we shall handle with discretion. These men?// The Peacecraft men had always had an attraction for males and in the past it made ensuring the bloodline continued difficult. What to do with the two who sought to interest him? Must she ensure their removal? //You do not fool me. You are interested and you have provided an heir.// The King surrounded himself with those who had been enemies. He made use of their strengths and provided them with security. There were two females she might grudgingly approve of to keep him company on cold Sanc nights… and the two young males who had established a truce between them. End
