Between legal proceedings post Treaty and petty disputes between families, Amaris could come up with quite a few occasions where an individual’s body count was increased; and none excluded the house of Noila. Breaking away from her thoughts, Amaris returned to the table but hesitated in physically placing a chip just yet. She could sense a degree of discomfort from her partner and could feel the weight of unspoken thoughts hanging in the air. As confident as she could be in her selection of the princess, there was no glossing over the fact that she had yet to find evidence that removed her own father from the equation. It wasn’t as if she could be faulted for not knowing for certain, but the feeling was no less frustrating to the Countess. “[color=f49ac2]Might as well hedge our bets and place on Ralmevik too.
