A Storm (Part 1)

Nailisi chortled silently as she stayed in Saleen’s embrace. She lifted up her head and whispered softly in Saleen’s ear, "Master, if you wish, I can make sure he dies a slow, agonizing death."

Saleen knew that everything she was saying now was going to somehow end up as part of her plan later on. However, he did not feel like rebuking her anymore.

"Have you replaced the dragonshards for the puppets?" Saleen asked.

"Yup!" Nailisi replied cheekily. She knew that Saleen was not going to pursue the matter any further. She knew that Saleen was well aware of the fact that Lex was not someone who was easily manipulated. The fact that Nailisi had even been able to convince Lex to proceed with her plan meant that it was doable and the returns were huge relative to the risks.
