When the cries of passion finally stopped, Charlize didn’t know if she was supposed to feel relieved or terrified. She had truly been worried about tonight, but not even in her worst nightmares had she imagined her half brother would act so shamelessly.

Jenarra above, Sari and his new mate had retreated in the imperial wing for the night. And yet, while she and Misael had been talking a walk outside, on the cliff, the practically pornographic noises had reached their ears. Sadly, they hadn’t been the only ones around, so half the guards in Draechenburg had overheard Prince Sareltae Norrenddare Myrthylar lea Tersain scream, “Yes! Oh, yes! There. Harder.”

The entire thing had grown so vulgar that the draechen had started to give Charlize and Misael lecherous looks, as if wondering if the two of them were up for a ride, too. “See?” Charlize hissed. “I told you that whore wasn’t to be trusted.”

Misael grabbed her arm and dragged her back into the building. “Keep your voice down. Making a scene will solve nothing.”

“And what do you suggest then?” Charlize asked, throwing her hands up. “That we just leave things as they are? At this rate, Sareltae will plunge Ivenia into a war just because he’s interested in bending over for a draechen.”

“It occurred to me that Sari’s behavior is strange,” Misael answered after a brief pause. “I don’t understand how he even accepted Prince Shtamakarein into his bed when he knows full well that the Dog-Catcher killed his best friend.”

Charlize blinked. “You’re right. I didn’t think of that.”

It wasn’t exactly common knowledge, but word had reached their ears that Caelyn Sutharlainn had found his death at Shtamakarein’s hands. Not that it had surprised Charlize, given the rumors of what Caelyn had done. The fact that Sareltae openly accepted this relationship with Shtamakarein was strange, indeed. “Do you think he doesn’t know about it?”

“It’s possible,” Misael answered. “Eanera could have kept it from him. She’s entirely capable of doing so, if she thought it for her own benefit.”

“Well, then, perhaps not all is lost,” Charlize answered. “If Sareltae hasn’t crossed the line tonight, we can tell him the truth about his new mate in the morning. I’m betting that once he sees the truth about Prince Shtamakarein, he won’t be so eager to share a bed with his new mate.”

Misael nodded, then lifted a hand to his lips. Charlize quickly silenced herself. He was right. It simply wasn’t safe to talk in Draechenburg, especially in the middle of a corridor. They hadn’t said anything that would endanger the safety of their people, but still they had to be careful.

“Tomorrow, we’ll handle it,” Misael added quietly. “There’s still hope.”

Charlize snorted. Relying on Sareltae’s loyalty was now folly. If she and her family wanted Ivenia to be safe, they had to take matters into their own hands.

As it turned out, their tentative plan had no chance of success. Before they could reach their quarters and escape for the night, they were intercepted by their father.
