"King Mival is planning to go to war with Uramuth."
"That's insane! Uramuth is as powerful, if not more powerful than Casella."
"Were you listening? King Mival's wives are all from political marriages. He has the support of many and they would provide him the resources he needs to start and win this war. The only thing stopping him from outright declaring a war is the absence of the King's seal."
"The King's seal?"
"It was lost during the massacre of the old royal family."
"Oh…"
King Mival was planning a war. Not just any war, a war on the biggest kingdom in the continent. It seemed like a short sighed decision but with the planning he had done over the years, he could have a high chance of winning. But the effect of the war on Casella and the continent as a whole…...it was too horrifying to imagine.
"I will return after the ball for your decision. I bid you farewell for now, Miss Greycastle."
