"She knows more about Liron than anyone else," I said, sipping my coffee. Zaria had placed a warming spell on it, so it stayed at the proper temperature until I finished it. "I'm not sure why you wanted to feel her out on this."

"She has some of me in her, remember?" Charles said softly. "Thankfully, she has something from her mothers, too."

"Ah. The secret you won't tell, huh?"

"I borrowed from three, you know," Charles sighed and sipped his coffee.

"Three?"

"Of the strongest and best I've ever known."

"Do they know?"

"Of course not."

"Are you going to tell them?"

"I want to tell them before I tell Zaria. This way, if I have to withdraw the information and go into hiding over it," he spread his hands. "On two of them, anyway."

"Why would you need to go into hiding? Any woman should be proud to have Zaria as a daughter."

"Even one they never knew about? Women generally don't like it if they're not included in things like that."

"Well, you owe them, I think," I insisted. "And why only two of them? What about the third—does she already know?"

"She's dead."

I went still. "I think you ought to tell me," I demanded. "At least about the dead one."

"Hmmph. I figure I'll hear from Wlodek in the future if he finds out," Charles stared at the white tablecloth beneath his cup.

"What the hell does Wlodek have to do with any of this?" I demanded.

"Because the dead one is Sarita."

"Sarita? The Vampire Queen who walked into the sun because she couldn't have children? That Sarita?"

"Yes. I'll likely hear from Merrill, too, because she was his turn."

"She has a child, and you fucking didn't say anything?"

"It's more complicated than that. She died before I was born humanoid. I had to bend time to get her blood—before she was turned."

"And then had plenty of time to bend time again and tell her she'd have a daughter."

"See, I knew you'd get upset over this."

"I'd get more upset if I were in Sarita's position and found out I had a daughter after it was too late."

"When you're dead, you usually don't get emotional like that."

"Are you calling me emotional?"

"Well, that's why I chose the women I did to be Zaria's mothers. I don't get emotional often, so I went looking for strong women who carried themselves—and their emotions—well."

"I really want to punch you, right now. Let me say again, any woman would be proud to know that Zaria is her daughter. I think you cheated Sarita, and now you're cheating two other women at the same time."

"Hypothetically speaking, what would you do if I told you that you were one of those women? How would you react? Tell me."

"I'd go straight to her and give her the biggest hug and the best Love I could, because she'd deserve it."

"See—that's why I haven't said anything. I think that sort of information would interrupt and distract her from the current mission. When it's over, I may consider letting all parties know."

"Charles, I never knew how cruel you can be at times.
