The Courtyard is in a flurry of activity with the arrival of Josh, Mackenzie, Jared and some of Josh's men. Henry stands at the bottom of the stairs, waiting for them to dismount before greeting them properly.
-"Any news?" - Josh asks as he approaches Henry.
-"A few, but let's go inside. Mackenzie, a servant will take you to Alexis. She has been eager to see you. I think she will be able to relax a bit once she sees you."
-"Thank you." - Mackenzie follows a servant inside.
-"This way."
Henry leads Josh and Jared through the corridors of the Castle towards his study. There's plenty they need to discuss and it's better if they do it in private.
He enters his study and makes his way around his desk, grabbing a handful of papers and handing them to Josh, the man reading through them before passing them to Jared.
-"Those arrived this morning."
-"These all tell the same thing, that she is in the dungeon, relatively unharmed and no one knows why Logan decided to take Bella, before saying they'll find out. This doesn't help us in any way. We don't know if anything has changed since they were sent."
-"That's why I decided to declare war on Logan."
-"Why would you do that?" - Josh can't help the surprise from his voice.
-"First, because he took Bella. Secondly, he sent men into my Kingdom without my knowledge. That alone is enough to be considered an invasion and give me cause to declare war on him."
-"If you go down this path, there's no turning back."
-"I know. But I will stop at nothing until Bella is free, no matter what I have to do."
-"Do you wish to call on the alliance?" - Josh smirks, seeing Henry smirk back.
-"I thought you'd never ask."
