Edward, crown upon his head, turned to look at the guard. He had an arm around his new bride as he looked at Yorrek. He frowned, as did Emily. Emily looked at Edward with a saddened look in her eyes. 

"your' home..."
Emily started to say something with a sad voice, but Edward held up a hand to cut her off. He held a gentle look in her eyes as he looked at her when he did so. He turned to look at Yorrek again. He sighed and nodded.


"I understand. Castles can be rebuilt. The kingdom, the citizens, however, can not. The baron must be stopped at all costs."
Edward had stopped addressing him as his brother, as he was no longer family to him. Edward took a breath. 

"I have been training with my 'secret talent'."
Edward whispered to the guard. 
"Hopefully it will not come to that, but if I end up having to face the baron myself, one on one, then it may have to be used. He can not be allowed to breathe the same air as us for much longer, not as long as he remains as he is now."

Edward sighed and closed his eyes. His heart sank in his chest at the thought. Emily did her best to be of comfort to her king. 


They would follow Yorrek out of the castle when the time was right.
