Byrun sat in his room and stared at the stone wall. The bottle of spirits already open and a quarter gone. His own words running through his head over and over again.
"You'll do fine Kindra. Protect yourself with your wards and our friend here can do what she does best."
He winced and took another drink from the bottle. His emotions were mixed. Was it that his choices had caused this young woman's death or was it that he let his guard down and was so easily fooled?
I paid for her to be raised. We acted in enough time to save her.
That last thought didn't seem to ease the situation at all. The doubt and unknowing was eating at him. He stared at the black gauntlet. It lay in the corner, almost taunting the noble as he took another drink.
Employees, allies, and enemies. Oh, I will find you and figure out where you belong. I'll start with Adeodatus in Sestra in the morning.
Byrun lifted the now blurry and apparently near empty bottle. The room spun as he did so.
Well. First thing in the afternoon then.
