”You’re house isn’t noble now, but it can be.” Robin sighed. Here she goes again with the princess. ”You are the last suriving male in your family, that means that you are your house and all you'd need to do is marry a noble...or a Royal." He nodded, knowing that it was a valid point. ”If you were to marry a princess...a Queen, she would take your name...making your house not noble one but a royal one, you’d be a King.”

“It wou-“

”She already likes you, if she loves you, and you her, then... you could restore your family name. It would be the only way regardless if you want the princess’s help.”

“Yes, The ‘only way’.” Robin stated. “The only easy way to get honor. No. Playing the Game isn’t my cup of ale. But I’ll make a Valsirian Wager with you. If she does love me, I will try to court her, after the rebellion. If she doesn’t, well, I will still do the rebellion but I think just for good luck on my quest to take back my Family home in Valsir I think I’d like to kiss the cheek of a lovely lady in waiting.”

Two can play at being coy and he knew it. “Everyone wins regardless.” He also didn’t want to think about a Crown. He was an Azura, he knew what Ambition did to one of the founding members of the clan. It turned him into the Shadow King, and Robin didn’t want the temptation looming over his head.

Whilst a marriage to a Noblewoman was indeed in the cards, or a Valsirian Shieldmaiden which applied to the same subject, being a King in a different country would still not restore him his family lands and home in Valsir.

That was the honor he wanted restored. But he will not say these to Narissa. Not out loud.

Maelthra groaned and opened up an eye, noticing his position with Clara. He smiled a small bit and got up slowly, “Morning.” He said. He moved her off him and back on the head. “I’m sure you’re feeling better now huh?”

He smiled softly. Lucien almost wanted to vomit from the potential romance. Galen has been getting stronger. He needed to find a way to regain control or escape the body and possibly have enough power to take up his own physical form. Then he would punish Galen, and reassert his control over his conquered lands.

But how?
