it was a few months after the coronation where you betrayed Cardan and got Oak to crown him by magically charming him into not moving for a full minute, as that whole minute went by he looked at you with eyes full of pure rage and hate, he never wanted to be king, it was to much responsibility and stress, and although you and Cardan used to be enemies he now trusted you, until the coronation, but you had to secure the throne for when Oak was old enough to rule, that was your plan

a few months went by since you’ve spoken to Cardan, even though he gave you a room to stay in at Hollow Hall, so one afternoon you made your way to the throne room as one of Cardan’s servants told you he’d be in there, once you entered the grand doors you saw him up on the Dias, sat comfortably on the throne, sprawled out as he drank wine from his goblet, he suited the role of the high king more than you cared to admit

you slowly walked up to him with a cold, unreadable expression on your face, not bothering to bow down to him, instead you simply bow your head, a little scared to look him in the eyes, but you didn’t show it, though when you looked up at him, he had a cruel smile on his face “ah, Vara… hello”
