The war is over

Another fun day spent with my family. Mari got me into a new TV show (Riverdale) and, of course, there’s been more laughter. Tomorrow we’re decorating the Christmas tree.

For the Unheired Prince:

“We need to determine if there’s a larger plot against your life.”

“I need to go home.”

“…back to the safehouse?”

“No. Back to the palace. It’s time for me to lead my people from something other than the shadows.”

“Your father gave his life to keep you safe. If you go back while there’s a plot against you, then…” I stop myself from saying the king’s sacrifice would be in vain, because it’s not quite true. The situations aren’t the same. The war is over.
