-Laelia-
He left me … Pymyrth! That liar! He was just like the rest. Just keeping me in the dark! Except he had actually left me for dead. The others hadn’t done that. No, they had kept secrets to protect me, at least they believed they were protecting me. Maybe in some way they had been. Pymyrth clearly did not honor his word, and look where that had gotten me.
I stood in a big common room with Erika on a couch before me. One leg over the other and with her rounding stomach. Behind me stood two guards holding an arm each while a third collected my weapons and just placed himself by one of my other guards and held onto them. I glared at him before glaring at Erika, who looked so pleased with herself.
“Why are you here?” I asked.
“Someone has to look after the North,” she said proudly.
