Three months later…
The Ambassador on Galanadar was escorted into the great hall of Kumun with his armed escort. As he walked through the hall, he and his men were acutely aware of all the armed men lining the hall with their hands on their swords, ready to protect their Empress with their lives. What kind of man followed a woman? Preposterous, women had no business on the throne.
They walked confidently to the head of the hall. Before them, sat the Empress Gaia sat on the throne. Her husband’s crown on her head. Standing to her right was a tall menacing looking man with amber eyes. This must have been the shifter lover they had heard of. The man who she had betrayed her husband with. The man who had helped her murder the true ruler of this Empire.
To her right stood an older man.
