The meeting lasted longer as Gale and Arad discussed more mundane matters. It didn't matter if Tyal was Arad's wife or concubine. The cooperative relationship between the two kingdoms won't change that much.
At least outwardly, Gale needs Arad's kingdom as much as he wants Tyal to have a better standing. Allying with Arad meant that the Storm Titans were allying with the beast kingdom, the elvish kingdom, and the dark elves' kingdom all at once. Killing for birds with a single stone.
In the meantime, and with the two kings busy. The ladies found themselves alone.
Tyal's mother leaned forward and looked Alice in her glowing, cloudy eyes. Her pale grey skin glistened as if overcharged with lightning, and her curly hair twitched, "Now, we never got the chance to speak, did we?"
Alice and Tyal's mother, Aolani of the heavenly cloud district.
The two never met before. Alice had no problem with Aolani, but Aolani had one big reason to have a problem with her, Tyal.
