"So, that makes her our most likely ally then?"

Lucas found his words, leaning over the table slightly as he seemed to become intrigued by the nature of this conversation--and whatever the mission for them would be in correlation to this news.

"If the goal is to remove King Held from power, likely by fatal means, then it stands to reason there needs to be someone to take his place."

"I thought that was your plan; for you to take his place and rule as a matriarchal figure."
