Shame welled within Bryn when Claudius growled at her, his words making her head bow under the force of them. His job was knowing the art of war and understanding the enemy. She knew that she was in good hands, but the very thought that she might have to fight someone to the death made her physically ill.
Through his scolding, she looked straight at him, her blue eyes never leaving the old ranger as he used the fire in his voice to let her know how disappointed he was. Already she was making a bad impression and it hurt her heart to think that she was letting him down. Valius trusted her to learn and she wasn’t doing well enough.
Her lips parted to speak when the Ithiliens sprung into action. Claudius and Masha left the room to assist Dax while Enna pulled her back by the shoulders and secured her in the bedroom. Her eyes were wide, her heart pounding as she heard the sounds of a struggle outside the locked bedroom door. She gripped Enna’s hand tightly, shivering at the very thought that someone might be there to cause her harm.
Dax watched as Masha and Claudius sprung into action, throwing their knives as the other three turned to run back the way they’d come. He pushed past the two Ithiliens, sprinting down the stone corridor after their disappearing figures. Bursting into the main entrance as the meeting between councils was letting out, Dax let out a warning cry to the other Al’Tir guards.
It was mass chaos as their king was secured as well as Valius while the three men were cut off in their retreat. Dax walked forward with measured steps towards the restrained men, his gleaming deadly sword pulled from his scabbard and thrust against the throat of the man that had spoke to him first in the hallway.
“Tell me now, traitor, why you are at the apartment of Lady Bryn. You have ten seconds and if I believe that even one lie has left your lips, I will ensure that your death is slow and agonizing.”
