along with that. We just returned from the north, and even though we won, it would be best if we let the military relax for the season before we journey out again,” the general added.
    It was odd to sit around with my father and his general. It was quite the scene before as General Paramessu walked to my father on his throne. Everything was stiff and formal, but here I could see that they were really just old friends. They even seemed to think on the same wavelength. It was strange, but nice. If the general and my father got along so well, I had no doubts about what my life would be like with Seth once I finally got to live it.
    “The real trouble is that it seems that Logan still finds a way to mess everything up,” I added for everyone.
    Seth looked at Kye and me where we sat. He looked at me first, and then Kye again. He was confused.
    “I thought you said getting her back would set everything back in motion the way it was supposed to happen.” Seth sounded a bit upset at the way things were turning out.
    “I thought it would,” Kye replied. Kye didn’t look at Seth as he spoke. He kept his eyes on my father. “I wanted it to. Really. But he still wins. I don’t know how. He went back and changed everything again since we’ve returned. He kept me out of his memories to keep me from knowing what he’d plotted now. He thinks I won’t remember, but I do. He is trying to win and knows that I’m on your side now.”
    “Are you?” Dee asked. He was just as upset at the news.
    “Yes, he is and always has been,” I answered for Kye. I could see the accusation in Dee’s eyes. They didn’t believe him. I didn’t blame them, but I was beginning to feel even more protective of Kye since I found out the truth.
    “Are you sure we can trust him?” Seth asked, more tenderly, but with just as much caution.
    “I am sure,” I answered.
    I didn’t doubt it for a moment. Kye bet his life on our trip back and was willing to disappear. He certainly wanted the future to change, and I couldn’t tell the room why. If they found out without the details, they wouldn’t trust Kye. I was a bit concerned that even with the details Seth would never trust Kye being that he was part Logan.
    “Then how do we set this straight?” my father asked Kye directly.
    Kye looked at me and then Seth. Seth looked back with a bit of jealousy. At that exact moment it would have been nice to tell Seth the truth and have him understand there was nothing to be jealous of, but I got the feeling with Seth it might make him even more jealous.
    “We marry these two before Logan can even come to her.” Kye was certain.
    Seth’s face lit up at his suggestion. All jealousy was gone in an instant.
    “That’s all it will take?” my father asked.
    “I hope so,” Kye replied. “But with Logan you never know.”
    Seth dropped his hand to my back. I could feel the warm hum. Married. I wouldn’t have considered that during my first trip into the past, but now I was actually excited about that idea. I could feel his happiness through the bond. He certainly liked that idea. I did too, but I wasn’t sure if that would stop Logan.
    “But,” the general interrupted my happy thoughts. “We can’t legitimately name her as your heir unless you’re married as it is.”
    My father looked over to my mother.
    “Well, I’m pretty sure she’s ready to follow through on her duty as a Nahrin princess.” My father was still holding on to my mother. In fact, I hadn’t seen them let go of each other since she’d returned.
    My father glowed as he looked at her. That might have been the weirdest part of it all. I could never imagine my father, but to imagine him in love with my mother was even stranger. I wanted to pinch myself. It didn’t feel real.
    “They need to do that as soon as possible,” Kye said. He looked to me. I could feel the urgency in his stare. Any delay in me marrying Seth was going to cause problems. Maybe this was the thing that was
