章 259: Kick

After they had finished having breakfast, Mars went to his study to write the letter to the king, explaining that he wanted to take one week break.

It was not a request, but more like a statement.  He thought the king must understand his situation and let him be, after what happened between them last night. If not, his mother would set his father straight.

He could see from what happened in Grey Tower that it was his mother who made the king release him. He was certain that this time his mother would talk to King Jared and ask him to let their son have a well-deserved break.

Mars believed both he and his father needed time to think and be away from each other. The only thing that might need his attention was having Elmer the Wizard help them hunt the witch, now that they already knew where she lived.
