The Tiger Within Chapter 355

The three men sat in silence for a long moment as Kyera finished her tale . They had all heard the story, but not this version . No king wanted to admit they had been out done by such a young queen, and no one knew where the drop had come from . Kyera Of the Falling Leaves was a lady of legend and so many told the tales of her life but no one mentioned her lineage, though it made more sense .

"Okay, how do we set this up?" Clovis asked, trusting his wife . This gave him the hope he needed, as long as she was right and that debt still held weight . She seemed so confident it would .

"We travel to her gates and request sanctuary in the mother city . She will choose to see us or not at the gates . " Kyera explained with a bit of a smile . The warm tea was soothing the pain in her throat . Speaking so much was definitely not something she was accustomed to, she wasn't a speech giver at heart . Action is often so much louder than words whether it be a act of peace or act of war .

Advertisement"Shouldn't we let her know we are coming?" He asked honestly a bit nervous . It would be a long and somewhat dangerous trip to do without invitation . She smiled knowing his thoughts . Caution was a beautiful thing, but without risk there was very little chance at reward .

"No, you need to show up just the Pair of you, and with a present . Am I right, My Lady?" Mordakai asked having a rather expectant look on his face . Kyera couldn't help but chuckle at her elder . Who said he was old and slow? His mind followed faster than the best tracker .

"Yes, She is very cautious and our people never give her notice . If we write her she will deny it out of fear shes being tricked . " Kyera explained and Clovis nodded slowly . He had a grim frown on his lips .

"There are so many sins hidden in my countries past . Was anything I was taught the truth?" He asked shaking his head frustration carving his expression . Kyera took his hand, making him look at her .

"A brilliant man once told me 'History is written by the Victors, returning heroes and proud Emperors . " Kyera tried to lift his spirits but his face seemed to darken . His hand tightened to hold hers .

"The fact that you and my people think that is a comforting fact is sad in and of itself . It shouldn't be that way . The truth is the truth, right or wrong a Emperor should never erase his deeds or his children can not learn from them . " Clovis replied surprising the three others at the table . Kyera smiled having sort of expected something similar .

"Then do better . When you take that bloody throne from your father, do better . The past is done but you will form the future . " Mordakai challenged him . There was fire and taunting in his words, but little doubt . As long as they weren't empty words, he knew Clovis could do just that .

Kyera nodded, taking her husband's hand and squeezing gently . "We believe in you or trust me you wouldn't be here with me as your wife . " Kyera reminded him gently . She leaned in, kissing his cheek . "I will make the arrangements and prepare a gift . You should go spend some time with Raina . It is rare for you to have so much free time for her and this will be a long trip . " Kyera reminded him with a soft smile .

"'And Vella expects the three of you to join us for dinner tonight . She's about to have the baby, and won't forgive either of you till her emotions settle down . " Mordrin cautioned them . Kyera smiled .

"We will not distress your Lady, Mordrin I assure you . Instead we will arrive at dinner early so she has no time to fret . " Kyera assured him and her old friend nodded . He was obviously tired and excited . Not that she could blame him, first child was amazingly important .

"See that you do . " Mordrin agreed before walking back to the palace . Kyera nodded looking at Clovis .

"You heard me . Be sure to be early for dinner . I will be back as soon as I can . Mordakai do I still have access to the Crystal Caverns?" Kyera asked curiously . He laughed and raised a brow in response .

"And since when do you need permission, Little thief?" Mordakai asked mischief twinkling in his eyes . Kyera grinned and stood .

"I will try to behave myself this time, My Lord . " she replied before leaving the group as well .
