   The man was glad his wife left it at that. He would think about it, indeed. But eventually his worries would outweigh everything, and Idun’s prediction would be correct. 

   At the next question, the man gave a tired sigh, leaning back a little. “The ones I thought would fight it didn’t, and the ones who I thought would understand protested,” he muttered, finding that the Foreign Affairs Minister was surprisingly agreeable to such plans. Was he looking for less work? The man couldn’t be sure. “It’s been tense each meeting, if I am to be honest.”

   Well, it wasn’t exactly surprising that the council wasn’t in favour of her husband’s recent decisions. It would make them unpopular with their trading partners, it had lost them most of their staff. The King wasn’t exactly in their people’s good books. And his fear of them on Elsa’s behalf wasn’t helping matters either. 

   "I’m sure things will work out in the end,“ she murmured. "In the best way for all involved.”

   "I don’t like arguing with you,“ she continued. It hadn’t been a true argument, but it was the closest they had come for a long time. "But I won’t apologise for thinking of our children in the here and now.”
