Diplomatic Immunity: Wedding Bells a'Ringing

[Rystil Arden]

"I think he's more been watching Aerope with Ferris," Vasha says. "It's good you have some perspective at least. I have no children of my own, but I may want them... someday."

"Children are the angels' greatest blessing, and they are a joy that has warmed my heart for every day of my life since they entered it," Leda replies with a wistful smile.

Tiberius Lucius Magnus, Male Praetor Warmage

"Who can truly understand the heart of a woman?" Plydek jokes.

“Well, I suppose that’s true,” Tiberius chuckles. “So, you were saying, before Vasha decided Orin needed a wash, that you’d found a girl like that before...”

"Children are the angels' greatest blessing, and they are a joy that has warmed my heart for every day of my life since they entered it," Leda replies with a wistful smile.

"That's wonderful. And you seem to be blessed with wonderful children. I don't envy your task of finding someone for Helena though."

“Well, I suppose that’s true,” Tiberius chuckles. “So, you were saying, before Vasha decided Orin needed a wash, that you’d found a girl like that before...”

"Ah, yes. She was a Rowaini noble, daughter of a duke. She was a great wit, smart and funny, a kind soul who spent a lot of time performing service for the less fortunate, a would-be poetess and author, and a singer. And of course, last but certainly not least, she was marvelously gorgeous."

"That's wonderful. And you seem to be blessed with wonderful children. I don't envy your task of finding someone for Helena though."

*Leda's bright look becomes more downcast.*

"Yes...poor Helena...With Plydek I couldn't have known better, but with Helena, it was all my fault...I know I'm a terrible person, but I try to be the best mother I can for them," she wipes away a small tear.

"Plydek? What's with him? And Helena is a wonderful person, you did well with her. I guess I'm confused why she's your fault other than the obvious way."

"Plydek? What's with him? And Helena is a wonderful person, you did well with her. I guess I'm confused why she's your fault other than the obvious way."

"It's because I was weak," Leda whispers softly.

"It's because I was weak," Leda whispers softly.

Vasha hugs Leda comfortingly, "Please, if I can help, tell me about them and what happened."

Vasha hugs Leda comfortingly, "Please, if I can help, tell me about them and what happened."

"No, there's nothing you need to do now...this is ancient history. I don't know exactly why, but for some reason, an angel came to me in the form of my husband after Kastor was conceived, and it caused me to have twins, Kastor and Plydek. As I said, I don't think I could have known then...but...Then later, after Lynestra was conceived, probably a different angel though maybe the same came, but not in the form of my husband, but...his beauty was supernatural. When he smiled, I felt my resolve and my heart melt with joy and lust, and despite my promise, I broke my vows and betrayed my Tyrus's love to him...and thus Helena was born."

"Plydek seems normal though," Vasha says comfortingly, "And you had no control, it's not your fault Leda, and by all other accounts you've been a wonderful mother and wife. You were faithful with your heart, and that is what truely matters."
