“The Light Castle. Even the Dark Palace.”
“Why?” she asked with a frown.
Vaughn chuckled. “That is your heritage, too. You need to learn all of it.”
“I’m sorry I was partly responsible for keeping you and the other Kings from this realm and the dragons.”
He looked into her silver depths, seeing the regret and sorrow there. “You rectified that by opening the doorway.”
“I’m not sure how long Brandr will allow it to remain open.”
Vaughn shrugged one shoulder. “Since he is responsible for Claire and V’s bairn being born alive, maybe there’s hope.”
She blinked. “What?”
“Rhi told me as soon as I arrived. Claire was in labor for hours. V tried to use his magic. Con tried to use his. Even Rhi attempted to help. All it did was cause Claire more pain.”
“What did Brandr do?”
“We’d all like to know.”
Eurwen’s lips parted. “Does that mean there’s hope for the other Kings’ mates to have children?”
“I doona have that answer, but I know that everyone at Dreagan will be asking the question.”
“We should have something to tell them when they ask.”
Vaughn couldn’t hold back his smile when he said, “We?”
Eurwen dropped her gaze to the ground for a heartbeat. “A slip of the tongue.”
“Perhaps. Or maybe you want to be a part of it.”
Her expression grew serious. “I know what you want of me, but I don’t know what answer to give you.”
Hope burst within Vaughn. “I’ll accept that for now.”
“You make it sound like you aren’t giving up.”
“I’m no’. Ever. Until you refuse me completely, I’ll do everything I can to win your love.”
“There’s still the problem of our locations.”
Vaughn blew out a breath as he looked at the loch. If that were the only thing holding her back, then he would find a way. “There is always a solution to any problem. We just have to find it.”
