Theanore was worried.
Marinus had run away from home and told Eliza that he was divorcing her!
He had been mean about it too. Cassius had thrown a tantrum and had gone to his room without dinner when they found out the news. He thought that she would do the same as Marinus.
Theanore didn't know how to explain to him that she was not going to leave him. Her mother had explained to her that the war would rekindle if she were to leave Cassius.
The Emperor and Empress had said the same.
Theanore had gone to Old Dany. She was her only true friend in this place.
"Old Dany, why do I have to stay here if I don't like it here?" Theanore asked the old nanny.
"It is a crime what these adults are doing to the four of you, forcing you together without you knowing what a marriage really means. But I know a way for you to be free and to go to your merman. You are a dungeon core. Proclaim your independence again and this time, ally with another, stronger dungeon," Old Dany said.
