It’s more complicated than that but I’m not sure if I should tell you that just yet so I’ll hold onto that for now. Though I wanted to ask you a question. How do you think your parents would react if we broke the engagement with my sister and Xavier?” Elliott was surprised and asked, “why would you want to brake the engagement?” Lucas shrugged and said, “I caught him looking at Alice and Kay at the dance, he also seemed to not like that I kissed Kay on her cheek. when I visited your kingdom, I also saw his interaction with Kay at the archery range and could see Kay was on edge talking to him. I trust Kay if she doesn’t trust him neither do I. I would rather just ask them to change the groom to you but I wouldn’t ask them for that without talking to you first not when I know your feelings for Kay. I won’t be involving Kay in the reasoning though I will simply say that my sister has recently revealed she was in love with someone else before the arrangement was made and we can’t force her to marry someone when she loves another.” Elliott thought about it for a moment and said, “they probably won’t like that and it will probably end up in a war. If that happens, what will we do about Kay? she clearly has a good relationship with this kingdom and my parents know that.”
Lucas smiled and said, “we will leave that to Kay though if I know her as well as I think I do she will probably stay with your kingdom and be marked as an enemy of ours until the war is resolved. she will fight as hard as she can for the side she chooses to fight for.” Elliott didn’t like this and asked, “is there any other way? I don’t want her to have to choose.” Lucas smiled and said, “neither do I but that will be up to your parents. Though before I do anything I will try to give her the choice to come with me back here or to stay and fight with your kingdom.” Elliott nodded and said, “thank you I would prefer her to come back here but she should make that call.” Lucas was surprised and asked, “why would you prefer that I figured you would want the opposite for her.”
Elliott shook his head and said, “if she stays with my kingdom, she will have to fight close friends, if she goes here, she won’t have to and she can protect them.
