 Donovan stared at the Queen, wondering what she was getting at. He was all for annuling the arrangment but the ultimate decision would come down to this woman. Who, in the absence of her husband, was Arilas's law. |

 "But," Talya continued, holding the papers firmly. "They are just paper," she tore them in half, "and paper," she tore it again, "is not," again, "indistructable." She smiled at the looks of relief that crossed the childrens faces. All but her son, who looked worried. |

"Do not be thanking me just yet Lord Donovan." Talya's smile faded, "This might be over for them but our fight is just beginning." |

Talya shrugged, "Probably not but things do tend to have an annoying habit of travelling, even if you wish them to be secret." |

"Tashii is right, as much as Eris-an may not like the idea. He is once again eligable to look for a wife and your infatuation with Kevyn will no longer keep you safe from them." Mali added the last part directly at Eris-an, more as a warning then to give bad news.

Eris-an did groan, burying his head in his hands. "Well that is just bloody brilliant." he turned to his mother, "Can we not just get Father to say that all wedding and betrothal propsals are being prosponed until after I get back from school?"
