Sgémoíse came and talked to Saoirse along with attempting to be untoward to her, but Saoirse stopped him and then her younger brother came and fought Sgémoíse, but Saoirse had to stop the fight before one of them died.
Chapter 14:
All of Castleorghlynne gathered for a celebration and dance and Saoirse ended up overexerting her abdominal muscles in dancing. Adaire arrived in Nea and found that no one was waiting to whisk him off into the king's presence, which actually got him concerned.

Excerpt of the Day:
""We received notice that a fleet would be coming for trade," the officer said. "I didn't realise that the attempt to circumnavigate Ureonaiea was also a trading mission."
"Might as well make the voyage useful," Adaire said.
"That is true," the officer said, pulling out a paper and looking at it for a moment before returning it and continuing his search. "Of course it is a little hazardous, with the way the Aissureans are right now."
"The sea is always risky," Adaire said. "You never know what kind of storms could whip up; clouds are deceptive."
"Indeed," the officer agreed. "Here, this is the notification."
Adaire waited as the officer read it over, then flipped around to the other side and kept reading.
"Oh, yes it does," he said. "It says right here that the voyage is also going to circumnavigate the continent of Ureonaiea; I guess I just read the pertinent information off the front of the page and didn't bother with the other side. Well then, I guess I should send notice to the king."
"I guess everyone else read the page and did the opposite," Adaire said. "They saw the circumnavigating Ureonaiea part and told everyone, forgetting the part about it being a trading mission."
"I guess so," the officer said, sitting down to pen the notice.
Once he'd written the notice he summoned a dock man and instructed him on what to do with the notice. The dock man headed off and the officer looked at Adaire with curious contemplation for a few moments.
"You're the liaison for the Heijmegourde Shipping Company for this voyage, aren't you?" he asked.
"Yes, I am," Adaire replied.
"I don't believe I've ever seen you before," he said.
"This is my first voyage as liaison," Adaire replied. "And I'm also heir to the Company."
"Oh?" the officer said. "I thought there were others, one of them came as liaison a couple of years back."
"There were others," Adaire replied. "But shipping is a dangerous business, and unfortunately most of them were claimed by accidents related to the business."
"Oh dear," the officer said. "That's rather unfortunate."
Adaire nodded, working to remain focused on where he was and not memories of the past.
"Are there any others after you?" the officer asked.
"No," Adaire replied. "I am the last son, all my father has left otherwise is daughters."
The officer nodded, looking like he was amazed and wanted to offer a comment, but had thought better of it and was holding his tongue. Adaire shifted uncomfortably and looked at the activity of the dock around him.
Out the corner of his eye Adaire spied a white carriage pulled by a time of light grey horses approaching; the carriage was trimmed in silver and sky blue, and Adaire was sure that it was a royal carriage."
