You’re Playing with Fire

Gilas was utterly surprised when Clara suddenly asked him to join her for dinner. They remained quiet inside the carriage for almost the entirety of the trip, and he honestly swore that he could hear and feel her heartbeat tension when he touched her face to remove the small bloodstain on her cheek.

Gilas remained quiet. To be honest, a lot of things were going on inside his head at the moment. He was now working with Gideon and Bartos in the shadows just waiting for Darius to wake up to discuss things further, and he still had to maintain a veneer of cooperation when it came to his father. He only wanted the guarantee for his mother's safety before he could go all out against his father, and he needed the King's help for that to happen.
