clean death?”
Erawan surveyed him sidelong. “You have
never wondered for the sake of your people.
Not even the sake of your niece, failure that
she was.”
Dorian made himself cringe, and bowed his
head. “I apologize again for that, milord. She
is a clever girl.”
“So clever, it seems, that one confrontation
with you and you were scared away.”
Dorian again bowed his head. “I will go
hunt for her, if that is what you wish.”
“I am aware that she no longer has what I
seek, and it is now lost to me. A loss you
brought about.” The Wyrdkey Elide had
carried, given to her by Kaltain.
Dorian wondered if Vernon had indeed
been lying low for months now—avoiding this
conversation. He cringed again. “Tell me how
to rectify it, milord, and it will be done.”
