Chapter 0269

**Deacon’s **

I pick up the plate of food on the table. I’m sure the girl is wrong about this, She has been through a lot and is clearly very scared, so I’m not surprised she suspects the food is poisoned. Given the rogue’s previous history of attempting to poison food and water, I’m not taking any cliances.

“Here is what I am going to do. I will have this food tested and have you and the children moved to a place where i know it is safe.

The girl sags in defeat; she knows she misjudged me. She had assumed that because I hadn’t attempted to compel her yet I didn’t have the ability. She had let her guard down and I had taken the opportunity. Maybe, once this is all over, I’ll find a way to earn her forgiveness.
