Chương 84: Meeting the in-laws

I pulled up a smile on my face and hugged my mother back. She was quick to pull away. "The dissolution of the feud has been keeping me busy. I must have hurried sooner," I said, looking at my in-laws. If they weren't here, I would not even have considered returning to this dreadful place. 

My mother wiped the fake tears from under her eyes. "We thought you might not be able to make it. Your in-laws were about to leave hours back, but they stayed for you." She turned to the other royal couple that sat in the room, "Such luck my daughter must have gathered to have in-laws like you"

"It wasn't any hassle," my mother-in-law said as she got up from where she sat. 

I observed the other couple in the room, apart from my mother and father. The lady who just spoke had bright red hair tied in a loose braid. Her eyes were blue like sapphire and looked around the room intelligently, as if she had seen centuries through them.
