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.”

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?

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

dares to steal our techniques must face execution.”

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
