Chapter 98 : All Consuming Darkness

*Jared*

I met Eliza and Mila in the servants’ access hall. It was the corridor that led from the kitchen to the ballroom and where the servants brought fresh platters of food and drinks.

“Mila, this is Jared, my husband,” Eliza introduced quickly.

The witch’s eyes shone behind her cloak hood. She studied me with a sharp scrutiny. I had a feeling that Ciana had told her all about my family lineage. But if I was being honest, a witch as legendary as Mila would probably be able to look at me and know more about me and my family than I knew!

“Archer is waiting for us on the mansion perimeter. We just need to get to him and he’ll cover our retreat,” I explained.

I led Mila and Eliza down the corridor. We refrained from talking to stay as quiet as possible and stuck close to one of the walls. If any servant came down the hall, it wouldn’t have mattered where we were standing, they’d see us.

Silently, I prayed to the Moon Goddess that we wouldn’t run into any.
