Chapter 84

CH84 Morgan

We walked arm in arm across the meadow toward a pair of trees that had grown together into an arching doorway. It filled with the same light that had been in the gate, and I realized this must be where I came through.

"How'd I get here, if I didn't walk through the

e gate?

"You were in the heart of the palace, dear. You're the queen! You and the palace are connected in ways you haven't started to understand... The truth is of the veil

I frowned. "One day, you'll be able to open the veil from wherever you are at will, and then things get fun!"

I chuckled. "I hope you'll be back by then. It would be nice to hear from a mure experienced source.

She smirked. "I think you'll be fine even if you have to figure it all out on your own... Thank you for visiting, dear. This is much more pleasant than I expected. Part of me had been dreading getting a daughter-in-law in case she was terrible. Like Ari." I laughed. "Has she always been like that?"

"Since the moment she was brought into the palace? Honestly... I told him! I told him to get her under control as she was going to be a problem, and look where he is...

"Tsuneo didn't realize that Ari had feelings for him."

She scoffed. "Because she's sneaky, and he's not paying attention to her. Tsuneo never really spent a lot of time around her. He had a lot of energy to burn off. She smirked. "I hope you'll enjoy it to the fullest so I can tease you mercilessly."

I scowled at her. "So that's what kind of mother-in-law you are."

She squeezed me

me close. "You wouldn't have me any other way."

I chuckled at that and squeezed her back. She pulled back with a sigh.

"Tell Tsuneo I love him... And tell my husband that..." Her eyes turned misty. "That every distance is but a step for the love of a brave warrior, even if the sun has seemed to stop setting."

I nodded.
