Overthrown, barks the violet mare, her reluctance to join the conversation a marked counterpoint to Jesper’s smooth diplomacy. He had mentioned a change in leadership only; had said this visit is a courtesy.
That is to be expected, Lepis thinks, that’s not at all abnormal.
But the spotted mare speaks up again, mentioning an investigation, an inspection of changes wrought upon a kingdom. I am not pleased with this news, mostly for the knowledge of the reaction it might bring about in the king. He would be...displeased.
Mosreal says they need answers, and Jesper says they need the king. Having turned to lead them deeper into the kingdom in search of our monarch, I pause with one hoof still raised to glance back. I envy the handsome bronze haired stallion; he seems so easily able to hide his emotions.
My own voice quavers as I begin to speak, but the words grow stronger.
”Perhaps you could ask me your questions.” I say. ”I will answer them as best I can, and if I cannot, we will continue to search for His Majesty. But I might be more help than you seem to think.” I glance at Mosrael as I say this, she who has insinuated twice that I am not who they are looking for in a manner that is not especially inspiring.
