Beth looked out the window at the homes they passed by on their way back to the Blackwell castle. She ignored Fraser who was doing all that he could to make her acknowledge him. She wasn't pleased with how Fraser conducted himself today or other days. No one was taking him seriously as the next king of this kingdom. All her efforts were being wasted.
"Mother," Fraser spoke up as he could no longer wait out the silence for her to speak first. "When will you be on my side?"
"You are my son, Fraser. I am always on your side but it does not mean I will accept this behavior and arrogance you have. You have done nothing great to be so arrogant. The north and this kingdom are back on bad terms-"
"They will not do anything now that Amelia is queen," Fraser reminded his mother. His stubborn cousin loved their kingdom too much to allow her husband to destroy it.
