ONE HUNDRED SEVEN: Something Lethal

Following Kel's eyes to the woman behind him, Soren's expression darkened. He slowly turned his body toward Lila and raised his hand threateningly above his head.

"You. Did you say something unnecessary?" he hissed angrily.

Lila shrugged nonchalantly, clearly unconcerned with the man's outrage.

"You're mistaken, Sir," she replied quietly. "I never once used your name in connection with the conspiracy against Sir Barclay."

"The.. conspiracy against… Ha." Soren sighed, pressing his palm into his forehead out of frustration. "I see now. So, in the end, it all went to waste."

"No at all, Sir," Lila responded, a hint of sarcasm in her voice. "Your plan to kill the princess's only comrade and blame it on the emperor was a total success."

The woman paused for a moment, shooting Kel a knowing wink.

"Well, until you gave yourself away just now.." she finished with a devilish smirk.
