As he listened to the whispers, one corner of Blains mouth lifted.

“Cerdina!” cried out the sobbing Toma girl, as all the other Tomaris held their breath. “Where is Cerdina? She should have come herself!”

Blain frowned at the careless use of the Queen Mothers name, but decided to overlook it. She was just an ignorant Toma girl.

“She is ill,” he explained benevolently. “I have come in her place. In this case, I do not think you need to express condolences.”

“How dare you?!” The Toma girl rose to her feet with a shriek, and Count Weddleton retreated as Blain kicked her away.

“The Queen Mother will surely compensate you,” he said as she fell backward. “I hope you will be patient until then.”

Turning to face all of them, he spread his arms wide.

“After the wedding, all the world will belong to the Tomaris. If you have been waiting for centuries, you can wait a few days more. Everyone will wait for the right moment.”

The Tomaris were silent at this declaration that their long-prophesied dream would finally come to pass. Blain smiled.

“Are there any among you who can cast spells?”

An old woman stepped forward, leaving many small baskets of roses behind her. Other Tomaris slowly followed.

“Carriages will be sent,” Blain told them. “You will come to the palace in the morning.”

He turned away, and the girl that he had kicked gritted her teeth and staggered back to her feet.

“A monster spawned a monster!” She screamed at his back. The piercing shriek rang through the hall. “You will not die in peace! You will be torn apart by beasts, just like my sister!”

Blain only laughed derisively, and left the banquet hall without looking back. Count Weddleton hurried after him nervously.

“Im sorry, Your Majesty,” he apologized. “She still has things to learn.”
