”My future bride”
”You are still setting your sights on Lady Allegra then?”
It was a difficult moment in the darkness of his mind. He was loyal. To his house first and his brother second. But he would not sell out his opinion on the matter, instead of dismissing himself as asked, he spoke freer now.
If family was important to his older brother why was Ra being dismissed now? It irked at him a little bit, ”Ra go get some sleep. I doubt you are in any condition right now to talk to.”
”This is the best condition I will be in for a while, brother. I have a lot I am working on at present, including smoothing out the ruckus you caused with the Montefiore- perhaps if I go to bed you will screw that up again?” The words came from a sharpened place, and Ra was being blunt and a little cruel. His eyes went to his sister, he had offered her a hand in what he did if she kept her loyalty to him. Then they came back to his brother. Still stood at his brother’s side, he placed his hand on Dederik’s shoulder; ”You have dismissed me, and I’ll go. But know this brother- the Red House need care and attention- they do not need you attending to them. This is not, for the moment, a job you can do. It is a job I can do. If you seek out the Duke without me you will break the alliances I have striven to make and destroy the work I am doing.”
The words that came next were not words Ra had spoken before- he had done many things, but the meeting with the Montefiores had not being easy. Whatever his thoughts of Allegra he would always act in a manner best for his house and if his brother undid what was causing him sleepless nights- ”I need your word, brother, as my brother and my lord, that you will not seek out the Montefiore house without me. I cannot make light of the consequences if you do.”
