Royal Arrangements

BANE POV:Esther stood in front of Bane's desk, reading the schedule on her tablet. "The royal tour will begin in three weeks, Your Majesty. We'll Start in the north, move through the western border packs and then finish in Stormhold territory....""No" Bane cut her off, his tone was soft, but there was an unmistakeable edge to his voice.
