“So you tricked us?” Charlie asked.
“No. I also was unaware just what kind of strife we were looking at. The biggest threat to the kingdom at the time was its own corruption. We have cleansed ourselves by now, and you all should be proud of how you’ve contributed, but this is far from being over. Yes, I will look for someone to take Eden’s spot, but I don’t believe we need another enchanter. Isn’t that right, Reuben?”
He nodded and told the rest of us, “Yes, I completed my first enchantment yesterday thanks to Jennava’s help. I was hoping to continue focusing more on contracts, but I believe an enchanter is more valuable than a harbinger, as we already have Barrett with us.”
“And henceforth you will be called an enchanter,” the king decreed.
“Well done, Reuben,” Michael said. “So what enchant can you perform?”
“It’s only a practice enchant. It is useless.”
“What is it?” Michael asked.
Reuben seemed a little embarrassed. “It makes a surface more reflective, but I hope to complete a callring soon enough,” he quickly added.
“Of course your first enchantment would be to make things shinier,” Michael teased. “As if all your rings aren’t shiny enough.”
“Will the new sorcerer be another girl?” Remi asked the king.
“I will try to keep equal numbers of genders if possible.”
“So Kataleya’s right, you are intending to create a dynasty of sorcerers?” Remi asked.
Kataleya looked shocked. “It was only a theory, sire.”
He put up his hand. “It’s all right. I’m glad to address that. I didn’t bring you all here thinking I would impose a relationship between any of you, but if one was to occur naturally, then I would not oppose it. That’s all I’m going to say. Remi, you have to give yourself time to heal. I now demand you rest. I will stop by later in case you have other questions.”
A new sorcerer. I hoped she would be powerful.
I felt flakes of Remi’s blood falling down my chest as I got up. Suddenly a bit disgusted with myself, I was more than ready to take a bath and start my day. It was time to wash away everything Eden and Valinox had done and prepare for the future.
And not a moment too soon, as the entire group of krepps then boisterously entered the dining hall, all of them seemingly unaware of what had happened last night.
