6 ~ Bricius

“Just so he’s clear, you want him to lead next,” I clarified when Markham and his friends took their seats again.

“Yes, but not for at least another few decades,” she told him firmly. “No matter how talented or wonderful, this is not the time for a change in leadership. He would be chum in the water with the war coming and politically to so many enemies.” She gave him a kind look. “If you do not want it, that is your choice, and I would never be mad at you for it. You do not have to decide today.”

“Okay, not yet,” he whispered, his hands shaking as he rubbed his head.

I shared a look with her, both of us realizing he was moments from either fainting or just breaking down, too much thrown at him for one day. He needed a moment to breathe and settle.

“So how did the game go?” I teased him, blinking when his friends smirked at my friends… Who all looked anywhere but at me.

“They’re rather bright and have been well trained to think outside the box,” Danek praised. “And this was their home turf. Let’s say ‘guerrilla warfare’ might be their specialty.”

It was hard not to laugh as they outlined all of their plans and how many hits they’d landed. My friends were even amused, saying it was worth waking just for the game instead of the promised hunting Alastair had passed along until it reached us.

“Oh dear,” Queen Fenna sighed when they finished. “I will warn the appropriate parties that Bricius might mate into our family.”

“Grandmother!” Markham gasped, giving her a shocked look.

She reached over and took his hand. “As long as he is willing to support your decision whichever way you choose, legendary Bricius or not, I will not object if you choose him.”

“I don’t even know him,” he grumbled. “And this is a sudden shift.”

She smiled gently at him. “He sees you, darling. His methods might be overbearing and heavy handed, but he sees you. He is making sure the boy who never got the attention he deserved and needed gets it now. You weren’t able to have friends as normal boys did, but now you do because they only saw you and not your linage and he just gave you the ultimate chance to play.

“Not only that, he will challenge you, sending twelve of the most legendary warriors ever to be your opponent. And from what I saw in his expression, he’s quite pleased you were able to not only win, but declare complete victory. That is someone who will stand at your side and push you when our instincts tell us to run. Plus, I would never have to worry about your safety with him at your side.”

“I really never thought you would allow me to be gay, and now you’re talking of mating me off to the oldest vampire,” he whispered, shaking his head.

“‘Allow you?’ I am not an easy woman, and I hold our family to high standards, but I am not a bigot, Markham.
