    "If the job was not difficult, they would not deign to take it," Raziel said. "But they will see it done." Raziel glanced at the door. His tail gave an irritated flick. "We have some key supporters of the Baron to move out of the way and some that need to be punished." His heart skipped a few...

    "Oh well if you want to undo him for his behaviour that's quite different," Raziel said. It was hard to take her tone badly when he was so proud of the monster she was becoming. Mostly at his own work in helping to take her down this path, but that was the price of arrogance. "The Harlequin...

    "Later of course," he laughed. It had been more for the notion of Thomond's disgust as anything else. For once, Raziel had to be a calming measure. He did not have to be. It would have been more amusing to watch her path of vengeance cause all kinds of chaos and then burn itself out. He was...

    "That is all, it was good to have some time to talk with you," Thomond replied. He forced a smile and glanced at the Tiefling. The demonic creature had been a dark influence on the girl. Even if removed, it was going to take some time to bring her around. Still, he thought to himself. One...

    Raziel waited. The tip of his tail snaked back and forth across Feyre. She's mine, not yours, he thought to himself. She was not exactly his pawn, not how Thomond wanted. She was becoming a force of nature herself and he was now just a willing observer, providing the occasional nudge in the...

    "Well that is an excellent point you make Thomand." "That is Lord Kell to you. A commoner does not address an Earl so." "Quite. Your men seem quite busy searching the house, but I can assure you that we've been thorough. There are no loyalists left here. At least none that we're not watching...

    His smile thinned. Separated from her demonic companion, he had assumed that she would fold quite quickly. In fact, as he had imagined this conversation, he had pictured her grateful for the offer of a strong alliance and his personal wisdom. "Perhaps at this point, we should consider a...

    Thomand smiled, took the offered glass and sat down in the offered chair. He could play the game as long as she did. "The Baron has a small garrison in the town twenty miles away. If they get word - such as from an escaped member of the household - they could be here tomorrow. I will of course...

    "I offer my apologies," Thomand said quietly. He glanced at one of his footmen and gave an angry shake of the head, for her benefit. "They did not even want me to come. Afraid that the Baron...the late Baron would have loyal people in the household who might still be a danger. You can all...

    Raziel was questioning some of the staff closest to the Baron as he heard the soldiers filtering in. He had been trying to find out who had been closest to the private meetings the Baron might have held or managed his letters. Raziel heard them moving, room by room. The soft jangle of leather...

    A hundred men-at-arms lined the road. A smattering of white tents were still being taken down. They would reach the estate by noon. Lord Thomas Kell had provided orders to secure it and follow Feyre's orders. But there had been more. Find a chance to seperate her from the tiefling. If the...

    "Oh I am not concerned about my behaviour," Raziel remarked. She had so little fear, reaching forward to take the waterskin. If he had been stronger, he could have scratched her skin with a nail and drawn power from her blood. He could have simply used his tail to grab her wrist and reached...

    "Oh he must have had collaborators. I'm sure he was at the heart of it all, but he must have informed some of his supporters in the region." He hadn't known the details of the overall political play. "The Baron wanted me killed for what I knew already, so I'm sure there is plenty to be...

    "I don't even know, specifically, what I might do with my freedom," Raziel replied. "Without any specific business to attend to - beyond the obvious task of getting far from here in one piece - I suppose I must search for work. A challenge that excites me." "But do you really want to know...

    "Recruitment it is," Raziel replied. At some level it was all he needed: to be let off the leash. This was an almost impossible task. They had few allies; he had no network of contacts. He would absolutely revel in taking on the challenge. If it went wrong he would be far from here before...
