I was sitting in the council room with the rest of the members. Lord Tristan made a good point. But I can't just kill a king of a country, it can cause a war. As if I haven't already got to worry about one already because of Francesco.
The Gronzerichs have been our allies ever since the rebellion and papa has kept the houses together and at peace for the longest time. What happens if I turn everything upside down? Tristan made me aware of our grandfathers promise to each other, about joining the houses together through marriage, but to my relief Tristan isn't interested in it either.
Yes Derik is cruel, like his father but more conniving, Tristan told me he could turn on us any day if he isn't getting what he wants. As alarming as that sounds I still can't go against him. There's no way
