A plan (2)

Indeed, Ignis is right. Even though only for the duration of the war, I can do something. I can call Mages to the Palace and give them some kind of safety.

It's not a solution, and it's temporary. Also, I thought Ignis wanted to avoid any trouble with the Church. However, he seems so ready to risk his position for me.

«It would be so much easier to get rid of me,» I say. «Now that there are witnesses to my powers, your position will be so delicate.»

«Don't worry about it. After all I've done to make you become my wife, how can I give up at the first chance? I've broken a few laws and tricked you. I've stained my soul. Now, it wouldn't be right if I just gave up.»

«Is that so?» I chuckle, crossing my arms. «You like challenges, don't you? And since I was becoming boring, you're actually happy things are going wrong!»

«I'm not happy. I would have preferred to have you safe.»

«Safety is not an option for Royals.»
