"Is there trouble between the border and the Castros or war brewing with another kingdom?" Scarlet inquired.

"It is the first one. Many years later it seems they want to try controlling the border again. They are going to ruin a truce that has worked over the years. Our family never gave up the border and I shall not allow it. Luke doesn't think," Ryan said, knowing it was Luke's doing.
