Chapter 170

MISTRESS SINAI

Mistress Sinai strolled through the garden just beyond the fortress gates, enjoying the soft caress of the evening air. The sweet scent of blooming flowers drifted around her, calming her nerves. "Ha-have you heard the rumors, mistress?" Nora asked hesitantly from behind.

Sinai glanced over her shoulder, an eyebrow raised. "Whatever makes you think I am interested in rumors, Nora? It is beneath a lady to involve herself in gossip.""

"Of course, mistress, I apologize." Nora's eyes dropped to the cobblestones.

But Sinai's curiosity was piqued. She cleared her throat. "What's the rumor about?"

"They say Emeriel has been away from the fortress for days." Nora's voice dropped to a conspiratorial whisper.

"Really?" Sinai's heart quickened its pace.

Just the boy's name was enough to stir several emotions in her. She took a deep, calming breath, feigning nonchalance.

"Did he escape? Run away?" A thrill of excitement shot through her at the thought. Good riddance.

"Oh no, mistress. The rumors say he is... having intimate relations with a high lord. He's been spending an awful lot of time at the high lord's estate."

Sinai's steps faltered. Intimate relations? Not what she had expected to hear.

What was it about that boy that made these powerful men take notice? It baffled her to no end. He was handsome, sure- pretty, even-but so were many others.

Well, if it keeps him busy enough to stay away from my Daemon. I'm all for it. Sinai's lips twisted into a wry smile.

Emerging from the garden, Sinai spotted a group of Greyrock soldiers in formation ahead of her. At their center, she caught sight of Grand Lord Zaiper.

She approached him, a demure smile gracing her features.

"Ah, our lovely mistress, Sinai." Zaiper greeted, his own smile slow and deliberate. "A pleasure to see you."
