Unexpected Returns

Aodh was very glad for Tanushree’s company, otherwise he wasn’t sure if he could bear the loneliness. He hadn’t even been part of the Delvers LLC company for a full year, but it had been such a huge part of his life, and always would be. And now that he was king, it was becoming harder and harder to judge the honesty of the people surrounding him. In some ways, he knew he was very lucky to have not been born into this lifestyle. At least he had a handful of people he knew for certain cared about him.

Meanwhile, Tanushree was still worried that someone in her family might try to assassinate her.

Aodh wished his family was here, even if his ma and da were gone. At least they were on the way. Vitaliya might be mental, but her parents were good people. No, can’t think bad about Vitaliya. Aodh didn’t feel right complaining about his cousin anymore. She’d almost given her life to protect him. Sometimes it was still hard, though. She basically followed him around everywhere now, and without looking, he knew she was probably glaring at Tanushree.

Luckily, Tanushree’s noble status had been barely enough for Vitaliya to grudgingly give her blessing for Aodh’s upcoming marriage. But Rekkla tried to avoid Vitaliya whenever she could. Aodh still wasn’t sure how he felt about the very real possibility he might end up marrying the brash goblin shaman. He did like her, and he couldn’t deny how amazing it would be for the Gobskulls to join his kingdom and basically allow him to annex their cave systems. None of it would have been possible if they didn’t see him as a religious figure.

Aodh and Tanushree were being followed by Vitaliya as well as two Berber palace guards. His ever-present secretary Karl and his assistant Michaela were right behind him. A couple of lower-ranked nobles were also following Aodh. He hadn’t bothered to learn their names. Lower-ranked nobles didn’t dare to strike up a conversation with him outside the throne room, but it didn’t stop them from looking for a chance...or something. All of it seemed strange to Aodh.

Sometimes he even missed the insane fights he’d taken part in with Henry and Jason.

Suddenly, a guard ran up from another hallway. She was out of breath and tense. After saluting, fist to heart, she said, “Your majesty, we have detected an intruder in the palace. There may be more than one.”

“Okay,” said Aodh. He kept walking.

“Your Majesty, please consider moving to the safe room!”

“No,” said Aodh. What was this guard’s name? He thought it might be Saray.

“You may stay with us, guard,” said Tanushree. She was a lot better than Aodh at dealing with this sort of thing, and he nodded in appreciation at her. He suddenly wondered what Nora was doing. She’d come into his life like a cursing, complicated hurricane, and he had to admit that he was glad she had. In the space of two weeks, he’d become a king and met two, maybe three future wives.
