Summary
“Stiles. Thank you for coming. I have something I would like to discuss with you.”
Of course you do, Stiles thought. Why else would you call me here? “Does it perhaps have anything to do with that letter?” Now that his king father had moved closer, Stiles could see the sigil on it. It was a small trout, from one of their fishing villages along the west. Jade Cove or maybe Jade Bay. He could never recall all their names, or the lords who ruled over them, especially since almost all had decided to name their lands after the Jade Sea next to them. So many Jades and even a man as well informed as Stiles could get lost.
The king looked down at the parchment in his hand before blinking a few times. “No, not this letter.” He strode over to his desk and shifted around the scrolls for a few minutes. “This is the one I wanted to discuss with you.”
Stiles liked the sigil of that one a lot less. It was a wolf head, tilted up to howl, encased in green wax. The sigil of the Queen of Hale Kingdom. “What counsel could I possibly give between two rulers?” Stiles aimed a joke.
“It’s not your counsel I need,” King Thomas sighed. “It’s your hand.”
