Chapter 52

MISTRESS SINAI

Mistress Sinai rose from the bed, completely naked, and began untangling her hair. She sat in a chair, gazing at her reflection in the metal mirror.

"You are so sweet, Sinai. I wish we could do this more often, the male figure reclining upon her bed uttered, his eyes tracing her every movement. "You are over a thousand years old, Daryl. You should not have sich a large appetite anymore," Sinal said in a bored tone.

The Lord of Trade, chuckled. "I'm still as young as ever. How is going with acquiring the land beyond Crystal Waters?"

"He still refuses to release it. Sinai's veins pulsated with anger. The thought always upset her.

Grand Lord Vladya did not want to give up that land to her. Her Daemon might be the love of her life, but even she had accepted the fact that he was no more.

It was only Lord Vladya who clung on. And Sinai had to suffer the consequences. I want that land to be mine already "Perhaps you should consider presenting your case to Grand Lord Ottai and Grand Lord Zaiper, as he suggested? Maybe one of them will support you and help convince him."

Mistress Sinai snorted. "Let's face it. Lord Zaiper may be the second in line for the throne after my Daemon, but everyone knows who the people respect and fear more. Who they would choose as their king if given a choice. Whose words are treated as gold and must be obeyed."

She turned and looked at her lover. "Even if Lord Zaiper and Ouai side with me, they cannot force Lord Vladya to relinquish the land if he doesn't wish to."

"True, Lord Daryl conceded. "And there are rumors that even Lord Zaiper himself fears Lord Vladya because Vladya is much stronger. If a duel were to determine the next grand king, Lord Zaiper might lose."
