The days before the king's wedding were peaceful; at least to those who could not see the storm brewing. King Khur had received reports that there were powerful martial artist of unknown origins trying to enter the capital. To him, it meant that the unconscious Lady Teel had found a helper. But he was sure that the antidote for the poison keeping her unconscious was still in his sister's hands. Though she was now imprisoned in the lower prisons, he was sure no one but she would know where the antidote is, and that she would not be quick to hand out that information; after all, she needed him to help get her released. He had no choice but to wait until after the wedding to leave the capital, because not attending this wedding was not an option. As long as he left safely, all will be well.
