Bab 80: A prelude to what is to come

(Third-Person POV)

Ahead of Ethan and Evangeline's carriage, another carriage was about half an hour away, heading towards the Tamerid Empire about half an hour's journey by horse. Inside the carriage, two men sat opposite each other, engaged in conversation. One of the men was Prince Liam, the First Prince of the Asina Kingdom. The other man was none other than Fernnard, one of the three dukes of the Asina Kingdom. There were three dukes in the Asina Kingdom, and although they were not equal, their lands were of similar size. Given the vastness of the Asina Kingdom, these dukes were somewhat like kings. They could not claim to be kings, but their lands were large enough to overshadow even the old southern clans.
