Seneca looks at Leon and stops, "Then I will be greatful even if he has been turned. He been in failing health for a while anyway. Their marriage was always weak in the passing months. I had a feeling her betrayal was coming but not so soon." Sighs. She looks down and closed her eyes before she opens them and looks up at Leon. "But they still have to pay...I know Alistair...he isn't going to stop. We needed to be ready. I need to be ready."

Aries finishes and lets go of her. He lays back and smiles lightly, "I know, but for now I needed time before I can choose a new queen." Of course it still hurts that it was over but their love was er from the moment when Seneca came to age. Aries closes his eyes and rubs his hand over his face taking a long sigh. A knock was at the door before it opens. A servent opens and bows, "King Leon and Queen Seneca as return to the castle with the prisoners."
