The emissaries I had sent to meet with the Osha had returned. The Osha King had agreed to meet in five days’ time in Bijarma, Queen Moriel's first home.
She sat with me now at breakfast, Mama and Uncle Felan also in attendance. We had been discussing her brother.
"His only loyalty is to power," Moriel said, truthfully.
I nodded.
"We have known this for some time. I have heard whispers of him meeting with the Osha King secretly, trying to form another alliance - to his credit, he wants to form an alliance without jeopardising the one he has with Zamee. He hopes that if war comes, Bijarma will be able to sit it out to honour both alliances. What he doesn't realise is that if he does not fight for the Osha King, he will be against him."
Conin, my Gamma, walked in as I spoke
