Chapter 72: Chapter 72 Ethan Found Out About Papeno

**Ethan’s POV

“We’ll need to figure out which of the Denali Islands may be used by our enemies.” I met with James and Talon in private.

“Ethan, how are you going to do this? Romero may be cunning, but he is not stupid,” James asked.

I turned to the King with a smirk, “Your Majesty, didn’t you want me to marry Madalynn? I will, in one month.”

James stroked his chin as if he was trying to understand my true intentions. “Very well, I’ll have the announcement out this afternoon.”

I knew my decision probably didn’t make Talon super excited, but he didn’t say much in front of the king.

“Ethan, why–” Talon chased me out of the meeting room.

I turned to face Talon, and my words were cold. “Because I need Madalynn to come to me.”

He paused for a moment, and I gave him my command. “Tell the guys to get ready for some action.”

Madalynn’s voice rang from the other side of the door. “Ethan!”

I walked over to open the door.
