For a moment, Ashlynn didn't say anything while she carefully considered Isabell's words. She'd thought about how she would reach out to her parents once she'd taken Lothian March from Bors and Owain. She knew that as soon as she made her move, it would set off a chain of events in the Kingdom of Gaal that could put both her parents and their entire extended family in danger.

Her mother would be harder to rescue now that she'd returned to the convent in Keating Duchy, but so long as it didn't require confronting the forces of the Holy City directly, Ashlynn was confident that she and her coven would be more than strong enough to bring her parents to safety.
