Chapter 69

Two weeks had passed and everyone was preparing for David and his party's arrival.

Luke was very ready for this moment, he was shaking in anticipation.

Whether or not this plan fails starts from now. 'Operation: Kings Fall starts now.'

The palace was bustling with maids moving around and making preparations.

River was forced to participate in this peace treaty and she was dressed up for the event.

"You don't allow enemies into a kingdom during a peace treaty," Luke told her during one of their meetings. "You meet outside those kingdoms and after the treaty, you let them in. It is either King Henry is a fool or he plans on trapping David as well. So we have to make a plan in case either of them happens."

River nearly trips and is caught by Hadrian. "Thank you," she said smiling.

"Until then play your part as the sweet innocent and I'll do the rest."
