Plans For A Non-Existent Future

As a frown creased her forehead, Zara heard the Village Chief's words resonate in the air, "Don't worry, your husband hasn't become lazy, nor is he burdening the future of this village on the shoulders of a young man who barely knows how to handle authority or run a village," he assured her. 

He paused for a moment, then continued, "But... to have someone else who is more capable than me, someone with the potential to become more powerful than any warrior in the stronghold, protecting this village against the Vykr vines, is something that I can't be against."

Zara raised her eyebrow, a glimmer of curiosity in her eyes, "So you are saying that you are willing to give him a chance," she asked.
