"Meeting Rhys wouldn't be enough, my Queen." Haldir closed the door when Adrianna sat inside. He mounted the broom and ordered the journey to the palace. "You should allow me to send spies to the Kingdom of Serpents, the Human Realm and also to the Werewolves Realm."
A muscle feathered in Adrianna's jaw when she heard 'Werewolves Realm'. "I trust my husband's people."
"Except your husband, you shouldn't trust anyone. Even me."
"Don't be preposterous, Haldir." Worries gripped her mind. She fingered her necklace.
Haldir became unusually quiet. When they reached the gates of the royal palace and Adrianna was about to alight the carriage, he said, "I would like to meet Rhys if my queen would allow."
