Gabriel was glad for the privacy her room offered, because he was unsure how convincing his acting would've been to the guards. They weren't exactly his biggest fans, mostly due to the word spread about him from Cain and his second in command. Fortunately, Az remained unaware of their suspicions.

"Yes but, should an emergency arise, you would be the most suitable heir." Her reluctance could be dealt with... Gabriel would just be single handedly responsible for her psychological shift, gentle nudge by gentle nudge. He shook his head sadly at the way she put herself as low on the list as longcoats, but the irony in her statement did not go unnoticed, at least to his inner workings. She was right above the longcoats... or at least, she had been at one time. "Don't say that, Az. You know the OZ would rather have you as a Queen long before a longcoatHe shifted, perhaps a little nervously, when she caught his irritated sigh. It had not been meant ( ... )
