[ Made for @nithya ]
Cassian has been convinced. The first suggestion had been cleverly sidestepped in the conversation, the king’s dislike of the suggestion unapparent yet very present. Two other nobles had come to him with the same suggestion, however, and he had concluded that either some of the greatest minds in his kingdom were thinking alike, or that this was a plot. Whatever the case, after much private consideration he had decided to go for it.
Let the planning begin.
Cassian had already reached out to Hadrian Usher with a general review of what this would look like and a command to make a plan for the military that would attend. Next, he needed a political take. Kennet found herself indisposed, flooded with suitors as she was—a result of her mother’s persistence—and thus she sent a trusted royal courtier in her stead.
Nithya would be welcomed into the king’a study by a guard, a place she was not unfamiliar with, and she would find the king at his desk pouring over parchment.
Cassian looked up.
“You’re timely.” It was both a statement and a compliment. Clearly timeliness was something he appreciated. “Come, sit. This plan of mine will benefit with collaboration.”
