With a crash the glass broke and left the red stain on the wall and carpet. Lord Borzan chuckled at his friend's reaction "Such a shame. It's a really good wine Gant."
"But the news you brought isn't! Such a alliance with Asturia is gonna be in out way." The man called Gant said back before he called for the servant to get him a new glass.
"You don't need to worry. It doesn't change anything. He will refuse to marry princess Laviel, and that I can ashore you in. He really is clinging to that witch."
"Not that the lovely Laviel would want to marry that… that demon. She only has the eye for Leat." Gant said proudly.
"And that my friend is your ticket for a well established kingdom. All you need to do is gave the king a gift in exchange for his daughters hand… to make everything legal that is." Lord Borzan took a sip of his drink "You know what he wants, of course."
"Of course, you don't have to remind me." Gant stood up and walked to the map on the wall "Zeibach's lands are a small price to pay if I will finally have what belongs to me."
A young man walked in the room and turned to Gant "You called for me father?"
"Yes, you will go with Lord Borzan to Fanelia. There is a royal wedding in three months and I wish for you to check things out."
"You will go as my apprentice and spend your time there with the cat-girl Merle, she is the king's close friend and as so knows many little details about him that no one else does." Lord Borzan observed the young man. It was hard to believe Gant was really his father due to a fact Leat was a cat-boy.
"Whose wedding is it father?" Leat asked curiously "Did the king finally found someone?"
"That monster will never find anyone who would care for him, not like you my little beast." Gant grinned "The wedding is between the traitor Folken and the middle princess of Asturia, Eries."
Hitomi woke up after falling from the bed. She sat up tangled in sheets and tried to calm down and breath regularly. Everything still lingered in her mind and she tried to realize what she just saw. But as much as she tried to place the pieces of the puzzle together she couldn't stop thinking of the words she heard.
'It's Folken whose getting married, not Van. But why did I saw it…? Was my vision wrong…?' than she jumped from the floor and screamed "Who cares?! Van is… He is…" than she sat on the bed and her smile vanished "He is waiting for me… and I am here… probably forever…"
