Asking her to marry me for the good of her people was one thing, but asking her to betray those people and pledge loyalty to my own kingdom was another. It’d only been a few months of her being here. She’d never abandon her people like that. “Loyalty takes time,” I started. “Luheo is preparing for war. We don’t have time. We need the power Morwen has. They may have agreed to peace, but they won’t jump into war for us. We need a way to convince them. Force them. Do you want our people to all end up like the men you took on that invasion when Luheo does show up?”
