The conspiracy would wait. It wasn’t as though they could make their move without a candidate for the throne standing by. Oak would save their father. Maybe he could never fix his family, but he could try to make up for what he’d already cost them. He could try to measure up to them. If he went, if he persuaded Wren, if they succeeded, then Madoc would live and Jude wouldn’t have to make another impossible choice.
I still don’t get the conspiracy??
