CHAPTER 139

IANNA

My father was like a dog with a bone. We said no to the fairy kingdom and now he is giving us the Malraux kingdom. If we accept them, we will never leave. Leaders don’t lead from a different place.

“I can see the looks on your faces and I know what you are thinking, and the answer is no, you are not leaving this place.” He sighed and leaned back on the chair. “Listen, we have just been through war that left this kingdom broken. If I go to the fairy kingdom then who do you expect to take over this one?”

I had no answer for that, all I knew was that I wanted to leave. I needed a break from that place, and I knew Aegen wanted the same as well. “Dad…” Aegen placed his hand on my lap stopping me from saying what I wanted to say.

“Ianna, my child. I know what you want, and I am sorry I can’t give it to you. The only thing I am able to give to you now. Is this kingdom and prevent you from going to the fairy kingdom because you said it will change you. But we can’t neglect this kingdom.
