The only way for them to marry was if Freddie and Davina died and their son became George's ward. As if George would ever let someone he considers his daughter have Davina as mother-in-law. 😄

I have been remiss in writing reviews for the recent chapters, but thank you @Mark Arbour, they were great. While it's sad to see George losing the support of his father and Caroline (he have to admit that she was critical in expanding their empire in the beginning), I am happy seeing George taking control of their empire and making the Grangers of Brentwood THE relevant branch of the Granger family. When I was made a Viscount, just Brentwood was already big enough to justify a marquisate (Caroline's comment), and he is now much richer and powerful. I am looking forward to land stuck George become one of the most powerful nobles in the realm 😁 PS: George became suspicious of evil deeds after Mr. Scruggs seemed disappointed that he didn't agree immediately to keep the estate agent, but there's a simpler explanation - they might be lovers, and Mr. Brooklands might even be Catholic, which would explain the care Mr. Scruggs put into the whole affair.

Another great chapter, thanks Mark. Battles and ship command are exciting, but I also like to see the politics and schemes in this environment.

We can send @Drew Espinosa to take care of you 🫂

Gary has a baby? As in a furry one, a crying one, or a hot warming bed one?

It is, thanks Doing ok, thanks. Was spending way to much time here do I cut it out to improve my productivity... Did I? Nope, just get distracted with something else now Nice pic btw, when I left you were a fairy 😁

How is college?

Hi Guys (and girls). I don't pop in often, just came to check how is everyone. Hope all of you are well and healthy. 🫂

You always touch hearts with your stories. Thanks Val. 🫂

Thanks for this chapter Mark. I admit I was missing George in a naval environment.

I am dieing and o know how the hell Chartley ended up in a Russian prison... I smell shady trade routes, and maybe underground British interference in the Khanates.

Also, Paul dies tomorrow so I am guessing these were loyal guards. The next Tsar will probably feel quite different about George 😊😁😍😜

Cool, 3 future heads (of State) and counting. Who is next? 😁

Oh, after what Talon said, I think Kalian will try even harder. 😁

Great chapter, just wish someone of "relevance" would have seem the final part, Malled was the one attack Kalian again, but was defeated. So if he gets is one aristocratic house, does Kalian have to change is name? I think he ("they"), should change the name to Verlauis 😁

Yes, I can see him advancing in peerage, just not yet with this assignment. He actually needs it (although I don't know if he would be that bothered by it) to avoid his second son having precedence over him in formal state occasions after he inherits his maternal grandfather title since precedence comes with the age of the title (which probably happened by now, if the in-law was that sick). PS: I'm rooting for Weston to get it Belvidera😜

I have been wondering about it as well. He is already Viscount Granger, Baron of Ryde, Knight of the Most Honorable Order of the Bath, Governor and Constable of Windsor Castle, Colonel of His Britannic Majesty's Marines. While his services are undoubtfully relevant, they are probably not enough to earn an advancement in peerage, even if Caroline works for it, at least without disclosing some of what they are doing and planning in Russia to the general public. He most likely cannot get another Order, since Garter is very exclusive and have limited number of members (my guess is that he would only get it if his father died), he is not Scottish and has no connection with Scotland - so Thistle is out, and classes for advancements in the Order of the Bath were only created in 1815. And George was already captain to one of their biggest frigates, so although he loathes the idea of being bound to a fleet in a ship-of-the-line, that might be a possibility. One can only hope that instead they give him command of a frigate squadron, and let him play havoc in the Mediterranean or the Caribbean. He is young so all the captains need to made Post after him. We can only imagine what he would do if they give him Calvert, Roberts, and maybe others like Brookstone or Lord Barnfield (I think Lennox is a flag captain in a ship-of-the-line, right?). They know him so well that it would probably be the frigate version of Nelson's "mind-reading" captains that fought on the Nile. PS: what happened to HMS Belvidera? It needed a profound refit, but that was several years ago, so it should be functional and it was a good and fast ship. George never encounter it again. Maybe some of his people will get it.

Great, but Shea is also his friend, and he is still in human form. Next test is more than one wolf, including the big "bad" alpha. Second and probably harder test, Cyn need to go to deer form and be able to stay that way around wolves, he will need it to keep up with then. I think he can do it, he is so brave 😁

Was waiting to see if he bags another future sovereign... 3 kings 2 dukes, that would be a full house, right?

Hope the hospital fired the security guy 😡 Home.... Now Rick should start seriously thinking about his life, and do some healing too. He should see that Gus recognize his value, he needs to start recognizing his own value too.

It's strange, how long did Cyn lived with humans? If they only turn close to puberty I would have thought he would have experienced more human technology when he was a kid. I wonder if being so attuned with their animal side maxed cernunnos forget some of what they lived before turning.

Wrong guess 😁

My guess is that Brandon was turned forcefully by a rape.

Thanks, glad they got back together😍

Don't pay any attention to Mann... We don't mind bigger, longer, thicker... Ok I will shut up now
