Chapter 4: The Present is Opened

Iolena opened the courtyard door of their suite and smiled as she looked at the work that had been completed since the majority of the family and friends had arrived. She was the one who had set the goal, with Berian, of having the renovations completed and the castle fully decorated by the time Fiona returned from Ireland, as part of her Christmas present to her daughter and new granddaughter.

Kitlaen, who was staying in the smaller room in Connor and Iolena’s suite until Richard arrived and their rooms could be completed, quietly came up and laid her hand on Iolena’s shoulder. Iolena hugged her best friend.

“What do you think, Kitty?” She asked.

“I think it’s beautiful, Yena. I think your little girl is going to be so surprised when she comes home to all of this.” Kitlaen smiled warmly. “You and Berian are quite the team.”

Iolena nodded. “He is an amazing young man, isn’t he?” Kitlaen nodded in agreement. “And when Tanner gets here, as our Christmas present to him and Fiona, we’re giving him his freedom.”

“I heard you saying something to Maeryn about that. What do you mean?”

“I know Berian Brice loves being a Horsemaster, and he is extremely good at what he does,” Iolena smiled while she was thinking, “but he is even better as a husband and father, both to Lona, even though he’s also her big brother, but especially now to Abilynn. Tanner and I are going to release him from his full-time responsibilities of horsemaster at Forest Castle so he can spend more time here with Fiona and Abilynn.”

“And Lona?” The Pastora asked.

“And Lona, when she’s here. It’s a conversation that Kailee and Fiona haven’t had yet, but Kailee wants to take a more active role in raising and preparing her heir,” Iolena told her friend. “I know she’s already told Fi that she is taking Lona down to Aerielands Castle for the winter. After that, it will probably be more like fifty percent of the time here and the other fifty with Menta Kai.”

“I’m glad that she will continue to spend half her time at Caer Aerie,” Kitt responded. “She and Abilynn have a beautiful friendship as sisters, very similar to Fiona and Alistronia, or Kailee and Arianna.”

“Or you and me.” Iolena smiled.

“Or you and me,” Kitlaen agreed.

Maeryn came out into the courtyard from Menta Kai’s suite and smiled at her two friends. “Rumor has it that we better get down to the dining room, or the child everyone refers to as ‘Fireball’ is going to polish off everything that Debra, Tarbitha, and Gwynlyn have prepared for breakfast.”

“She’s up already?” Iolena asked.

“Oh yes,” Maeryn replied. “She’s been awake since daybreak when Grandpa and Uncle Joe knocked on the door to get Kailee when they were going hunting. I’ve been entertaining her ever since.”

“Oh, you should’ve sent her over to me,” Iolena told her friend. “I’ve been up since Connor got up as well. I could’ve taken care of her.”

“It wasn’t a problem, Yena.
