Chapitre 15: Chapter 15: A Brother's Love

Rhea looked at Arras nervously, but he simply nodded to the chair behind her. Sitting stiffly, she turned her attention to Aedan, who took a position by the fireplace.

“Start where you left off in the hall of paintings,” Rhea crossed her legs. “You were telling me…”

“Ah yes,” Aedan remembered the earlier conversation. “You know of the father’s wish to have Taigh stay home, while Arras fought. What you don’t know is that Taigh was in love with Tristana, the daughter of a noble by the sea, and they had been lovers for several months. A wedding was planned for the following spring. Tiernan then ordered Arras to go, and so he did. Brennus and I fought beside Arras through the autumn and winter. Taigh showed up suddenly, just when spring was in the air. He was distraught.”

Brennus continued, “The noble’s home had been attacked and Tristana could not be found. Taigh begged his brother to help him find his lover and bring her home.”
