Chapter 199

MISTRESS SINAI

Mistress Sinai stood in Grand Lord Zaiper's study, her fingers trailing lightly over the large desk covered with maps and scrolls as she waited.

The soft ticking of a grand clock in the corner caught her wandering eyes, then the bold paintings on the wall and the collection of ancient artifacts displayed in glass cases.

"If it isn't our beautiful mistress," Lord Zaiper's voice behind her shattered the quietude.

Plastering a practiced smile on her face, Sinai turned to face him. "Your highness."

"To what do I owe this pleasant visit?" Zaiper stood before her, amused.

She batted her eyelashes. "Can't a female decide to visit her favorite ruler every once in a while?"

His chuckle vibrated through the room. "I thought Daemonikai held that title?"

"He did," she shrugged, reaching for the wrapped offering she'd dropped on his desk. Lifting it, she presented it to him with a flourish. "I had my servants prepare your favorite meal. I hope you like it." Zaiper's brows shot up in surprise. "A meal too?" He took the package, sniffed it appreciatively, then placed it back on his desk. "I hope all this is not about that land beyond Crystal Waters?" "Does everyone already know about this?" Sinai huffed, sullen. "Yet, no one wants to let me have it."

Zaiper shook his head, moving to lean against his desk. "That's because it's between you and Daemonikai. He promised it to you; when the time is right, he will let you have it."

"It's been six centuries!" Sinai's voice rose in frustration. She wanted to scream, to throw something. Anything.

That land was her key to untold wealth and power. Why wouldn't Daemonikai release it to her?

By now, she would have built an empire. Perhaps even become the wealthiest mistress in the kingdom. "Surely you could release it to me?"

"I could. But it wouldn't come easy." Zaiper crossed his arms lazily. "Tell me, shouldn't you be more worried about Daemonikai's well-being now, instead of a mere piece of land?" "He is a handful, losing himself to grief. He is not the only one who lost loved ones that night."

"Mmm." Zaiper stroked his imaginary beards. "He is the only one that lost all at once, though."

"Look at you, living your best life." Sinai said bitterly. "What was supposed to be a 'little collateral damage' turned out to be the biggest problem of mine." Zaiper's amusement vanished, and his face turned cold.
