"How sure are you they can be trusted?' I asked my friend. "I saw it in Alexei's eyes, Devin. He has no reason to lie. Other than that, they have never pumped silver into the air in a fight. Neither killed their opponents. We need to sit and talk about this. The king and lords are joining me in the
~Susan~ Love could be messed up sometimes, and in my case, most of the time. That was my story when Maurice Volkov threatened my life, and my uncle had to move me to the south. I did not hear anything that day, but the paranoid man believed I did, and for that, I was asked to leave the north or die

~Leo~ What Devin told me left me baffled. I did not know what to do. If it was as serious as he described, it was only fair to involve the king. We could not deal with this bastard independently and were not genetically or physically equipped to push back. After speaking to Devin, I took out my p
