Master Of Wyrd (Throne Of Glass Fanfiction)

Chapter 5

Aedion wanted to punch the King of Fenharrow and Queen of Melisande.

He had silently watched the entire meeting unfold, the other guardians that the monarchs had brought, were doing the same as well. Except for Chaol who briefly gave him a grin which he returned.

Now as they walked out with Aelin and Dorian, Chaol said to him "That was a chaotic meeting". Aedion snorted and said "That's an understatement."

They walked a good distance away from the meeting area before Manon stopped and said "Well Dorian, care to explain yourself?" Dorian replied "explain what?" Aelin said "why you wanted a 'word' with us". Dorian grinned and said "Can't I talk to my friends who I've met after all this time?" Ansel also joined the conversation saying "cut the crap already and tell us what it is".

Aedion couldn't help but chuckle, so did Chaol. Dorian sighed and said "Fine, I wanted to talk about the mess we're all in". Aedion smirked and said "You mean the mess your in Prince". It was an old jab that Aedion used to call Dorian back before the war when Dorian's father was still in charge. Aelin sighed and said "what my cousin means is that your in a mess but we'll help you get out of it". Manon added "we were serious when we said we would aid Adarlan." Manon gave Dorian a coy smile revealing why exactly she was helping, and Aedion didn't know whether to laugh or cringe when he saw Dorian's reaction.

Nevertheless he said "the Prince knows I'm joking, of course we'll help you, it's been boring the past few months, with all the courtly bullshit." Aelin smirked and Dorian smiled, clearly relieved. Chaol coughed pointedly at Aedion when he said those last words and Aelin said "What Chaol, it wasn't boring for you, did Yrene and your family keep you entertained?" Chaol smiled and said "Despite what you think me and Yrene did these 6 months, we've been helping Adarlan to get back to what it was like before. (at Aedion's questioning glare Chaol added) That is; before Adarlan began it's conquests."

Aelin nodded in approval and said "Well Dorian, what's your plan to fend off the 3 blood hungry kingdoms?" Dorian winced and said "Well I hoped you would have an idea" Manon looked at him and said "Your the King of Adarlan, you should hsve a plan, (she gave him a small smile) unless you us ladies to do everything for you?". Aedion laughed and said "how about we head to Adarlan and then plan?" Dorian said "Oh no, your all going to your homes, I don't want to put you all in danger". Aelin glared at him "You think we can't handle a bit of danger?" Chaol saved Dorian by saying "he meant that he didn't want you to leave your kingdoms undefended, we'll use letters between each ither to communicate, or witch mirrors".

Aelin sighed and said "Fine but you better contact us in the next 3 days or I'll personally lead an army to your doorstep to check up on you." Manon also added "the ironteeth witches haven't had a good battle in months, I'm sure they'll be more then happy to help against our enemies".

Dorian's faced flashed with gratitude as he said "Thank you, all of you for your help". Ansel pointedly coughed and said "Yeah well not everyone can help, I meant it when I said the internal issues were big, those damn Wyrd idiots. I'll lend you resources though". Dorian nodded his head and said "It's alright, you deal with your problems and we'll handle the war. Hopefully the last war we'll have to face". Aedion snorted and said "Knowing our luck, that's highly unlikely". Chaol replied "But as you said, life would be boring without some constant threat looming over us".

Aelin groaned and said "ugh what am I going to tell my court, I came here promising them that I would make allies and I'm leaving to inform them that we're facing another war." Aedion sighed and said "Darrow will definitely try and use it against you, the old bastard." Manon said "I can't believe you still put up with him, whatever rules I make go through Petra and Glennis before being implemented, courts are annoying and bore me to death." Ansel nodded her head saying "I also just dish out whatever orders I need and a group of 5 master scholars go through them and implement them and improve them".

Dorian shook his head and said "here in Adarlan I have to make sure the majority of the lords agree before I can implement any law, and it can get annoying". Aelin also agreed and said "I know first hand what's that like. Unlike you lot, I'm forced to have a court because it's Terrasen's culture, not that I have anything against it".

Aedion grinned and said "makes me almost miss the good old days of running around and killing Valg soldiers". Chaol said "I wouldn't call them 'good'. Just old days would suffice."

Aedion agreed, Indeed the months before he met Aelin were chaotic as he tried to fight against the old king if Adarlan through any means possible without outright showing it.

Ansel interrupted saying "Do any of you have any suggestions on how to deal with rebels? Despite purging the city and killing every rebel and rebel symphatizers". Dorian nodded and said "I haven't had to handle any specific rebellion but during my father's reign he had to handle rebellions all the time" he gave Aedion a sly look. Aedion grinned and said "guilty as charged prince"

Dorian rolled his eyes and said "Anyways, the best thing you can do is find some common ground with them and try to make a deal, and to create a secret guard to beat out the leaders, after all if you cut off the head  and then the rest of the snake's body will follow".

Ansel nodded and said "thank you, well I'll be off so I guess I'll see you some other time". Aelin also nodded and got onto a horse, and so did Aedion and the others. Aelin said "good luck guys, try not to die before making it home".

Everyone said their goodbyes and off Aedion and Aelin went, following the road all the way to Orynth, to home. Aedion didn't know about Aelin but he couldn't wait to reach Terrasen, Carravere in particular. To someone who he was sure was waiting for him. Because he was for sure waiting to reach home to her.
