said.
    “Beautiful. Now, is there anything else you would like to ask of me while I’m in this delightful mood I never recall having before?”
    “Yes.” Meg answered quickly, taking another step forward. “That you let me take her back to Kalu and not force us to stay here.”
    “You mean, my own daughter won’t live with me?”
    I felt the sudden tension between them and stepped up, slightly pulling Meg back by her shoulders. “What she means to say is, it would be best for your child to grow in Kalu since she will be a part of it as an Assassin and can learn their ways firsthand.”
    “All right.” Wyatt surprisingly replied. “But you know you’ll have to stay here until little Blake can be raised without you.”
    “Yes.” Meg said, regrettably.
    “And I have a few requests of my own.”
    “Of course.”
    “I want to see her from time to time. She will know who her father and brother are and where she comes from.”
    “A reasonable request.” I said, looking back at Meg.
    “And pertaining to the whole marriage thing—”
    “Yes?” Zayden asked.
    “I get the right to decline the union if anything should arise between now and then or perhaps if I just feel your son doesn’t live up to the potential my daughter deserves.”
    I saw Zayden hold back from visibly narrowing his eyes to think that Wyatt was already insinuating that Seth wouldn’t amount to anything but he smiled passed it with a nod. “Of course and I should hold that right as well.”
    “Of course.”
    There was a pause as Wyatt continued to stand there while looking down at the babies in his arms and it seemed everyone was unsure about what was happening next. Eyes shifted between us visitors and we knew someone had to say something so we could end this trip.
    “Excellent.” Zayden smiled. “Then everything’s settled. Meg can eventually go back to Kalu for the upbringing of the Princess and our futures as united are still in play.”
    “Excellent.” Wyatt smiled back, holding out his hand as best he could and shook on it with Zayden. “I truly look forward to that day.”
    Zayden just smiled with a nod but I was still displeased. There was something about Wyatt as he stood there that I didn’t feel right about like he had some kind of plan involving our country’s union. I didn’t like it one bit but didn’t protest their terms only to save Meg from being killed with her daughter.
    “Well—” Wyatt said, breaking the short silence. “You two must be anxious to get back home. I imagine it was a long trip with the little one.”
    “Ah, yes.” Zayden replied. “But we managed without any problems.”
    “Glad to know. I trust you can show yourselves out. I have some catching up to do with my Queen and our new twins.”
    This was it; the part I didn’t feel right about. I didn’t want her to have to stay here at all but my theory on it was right. “Of course. You have a right to know you’re family and we hope that it brings you many great joys.”
    “Thank you.”
    “Remember, you can come visit us anytime.”
    “I know.” Meg said. “Thank you and thank you for bringing me here.”
    “Our pleasure.” Zayden smiled. “We hope to be seeing you again soon.”
    “Of course. Same for you.”
    “Well, all right.” Zayden said with a long breath while turning to me. “You ready?”
    I shared a look with Meg and nodded. I didn’t have a choice. “Yeah. I suppose I am.”
    “It was good seeing you, Wyatt.”
    “And you. Don’t hesitate to plan a more scheduled visit sometime so you may stay longer.”
    “I’ll remember that. Thank you.”
    “Have a safe trip back.”
    “We will. Congratulations on the new members of the family.”
    “Thank you.”
    We walked away towards the doors of the throne room and I let my worry show through my quiet voice. “Zayden! I don’t feel right about this!”
    “Don’t start anything, Love. Wyatt does have the right to his family like you said. She’ll be
