Chapter Seventeen

Nalha held out for a good ten minutes. Another finger was sliced off, but it was the shock to his balls that broke him. Aspen watched from the bed and almost wanted to cover his ears at the scream the Captain let out.

Roth threatened him again once Nalha could talk, and he quickly shook his head.

“It wasn’t a specific person,” he said as his new stub bled. “When you found me, I knew the authorities in Qualquetty would take you. King Taven’s men are everywhere, and a new lord is over that city as a reward. The last one died in your court. I’ve never personally met the new lord, but I know that if I brought you, he’d pay me handsomely.”

Oriel leaned against the wall with an expression of such disgust, Aspen was surprised the Captain didn’t shrivel on the spot. “So this was for money. You were willing to sell me out for a few coins?”

Nalha grew paler. “I’m nearly forty-five, and it’s been hard lately. I have men to pay, and I thought-I thought maybe I could get a small holding for such a service. I’m-”

“It’s okay if I’m taken back, enslaved, tortured, and raped, so you can have a small holding and sit on your arse? You think it’s okay to have your men rape someone I love?” Oriel leaned forward as Nalha started to speak. “Shut the fuck up. I’m still talking. You’ve spoken to my Father and had us on your boat. Even if I’ve never specifically done anything for you, I've also never done anything to you. I expected you to have some common decency to get us away and keep your fucking mouth shut. I guess you never figured that there might be a reward in the future from me if I get my Kingdom back. What’s in that cupboard over there?”

Aspen eyed the lock on a cupboard by the bed and assumed weapons. Nalha confirmed it, and when Roth let a tendril of lightning curl around his forefinger, he blurted that the key was in a little locked box under the bed. Roth still let the tendril escape his finger and head right for its target. Nalha squeaked when it hit his bare chest.

Oriel found the flimsy box and busted it against the floor. Inside was a key, several coins, and a couple of useless trinkets. When he opened the cupboard, a few crossbows waited on the racks. They had already been drawn, and Aspen spotted two much smaller ones too. They could be drawn by hand but weren’t as powerful. Still, a bolt to an unprotected chest could kill.

Oriel pulled out a metal one and handed it to Aspen. “I know this is heavy, but it’ll handle your fire. Roth, take this one.”

Aspen sat on the edge of the bed with the hefty piece. His archery lessons had been a long time ago, so the crossbow might be pretty useless.

“If you let us all go, I’ll tell the men to let you have the lifeboat.
