But Grace wasn't done. "I have my conditions."
That made Martin's brows arch again. "Conditions?"
Grace nodded. "First—I choose where and when the test happens."
King Lester nodded immediately. "Fair."
Martin, however, looked vaguely amused. "And the second?"
Grace's lips curled slightly. "After the test—whether it proves I'm your blood or not—I decide what happens next."
King Lester stiffened at that, but she continued. It was obvious enough that they were father and daughter.
Jace had the same thought as King Lester as he observed Grace. What was his girlfriend up to?
"No grand announcements, no immediate titles, no sudden integration into the family. I choose what comes next for me. Not you." Grace let her words settle before adding, "Agreed?"
King Lester hesitated only for a second before nodding. "Agreed."
"Then we're done here," she said and stood to her feet.
Sir Washington clapped his hands together, looking immensely pleased. "Well, that was entertaining."
