WELL LAID TRAP

OLD MAN KIERANS' POV

" The spy informed us that Advisor Maxwella, Lord Sith, and Lord Talon rushed over to Elisera after the deaths of the guards. No idea why they went but this is the time to push Lord Niko to agree to our demands. He is alone and will be more rational to meet" Lord Blackin stated.

" Get Tharn to request a meeting. Lord Niko will not refuse. " I nodded and Lord Blackwin sent the guard to request Aunt Tharn Sith to meet us.

An hour later she appeared and looked annoyed that we had summoned her.

" Oh Tharn, do you want to tell me you become a spy for the Lords? " Lord Blackwin snickered.

She seemed angered by my words and surprisingly did not retort but responded " I was having a bad headache. Age has caught up with me and when you called, I was asleep. What can I do for you Lord Blackwin?"

Her change in mood made me uneasy and I responded " Tharn what is the matter?"
