"I needed an heir, eventually. You've been lost for over twenty years, so I arranged a marriage with a very young bride who could give me children and strengthen the royal line, as well as a legitimate claim to rule whatever few people may be left of Klain after the war. Since she was but a child, the marriage was delayed for over a decade, but she is finally of age." Duncan narrowed his eyes. "You are here now, but a secondary heir would still be beneficial."

"I'm sure of it!" Finn declared. "It's all too much. The way the boys reacted when they got near the garden when the flower was planted, their strange behavior, their refusal to say anything about what happened to their families, the fact that none of them are siblings, the myth book even described halflings as joyless! That batch of orphans that Klain took in aren't orphans, or even children at all! They're adult halflings!"

Brenna continued murmuring to herself, but Edmar seethed. His younger brother was living a perfect, happy life. He'd probably never missed him at all. Just gone on happily with that arranged Rhone bride of his. Likely the two of them ruled all Ceto together.
