“Are you Gwain?”

Emmanuel’s piercing gaze bore into Gwain, sharp and unwavering.

Gwain stiffened slightly but quickly masked his unease with an air of casual

indifference. He lifted his chin ever so slightly, his hands clasped behind his

back, and offered a small smile. “That would be me, just a humble fellow.”

“I have long heard of your reputation. It is a pleasure to finally meet you.”

Emmanuel made a polite gesture, though the civility of it barely concealed

his true intentions. “I wonder, Mr. Lannister, what made you capture my sister?

There’s no reason for any bad blood between us.”

“Indeed, there are no grievances between us,” Gwain replied, his voice

steady, though there was a defiant edge to his words. “However, your sister

secretly studied my family’s Dragon Tome. By our family’s rules, anyone who

dares to steal our techniques must face execution.”

“I had no desire to harm her,” he continued, his expression cool. “I was willing

to let her go if only she recited the technique back to me. But she refused to

A murmur rippled through the crowd, their whispers showing favor toward

Gwain’s side of the story.

After all, anyone with even a passing knowledge of the Lannister family knew

the Dragon Tome was one of their three sacred texts. Stealing from it meant

certain death.

“Stealing?” Emmanuel remained unflinching in the face of the crowd’s

growing sympathy. A cold, humorless smile curled on his lips. “Mr. Lannister, I

have three questions for you.”

“Ask away.” Gwain’s expression grew tensé, his eyes hardening.

Emmanuel raised three fingers, his gaze unwavering.

“First, is there a patent for the Dragon Tome? Second, do you have any
