Chapter Eleven

“Isn’t it enough that she’s planning to keep the Castelan from preparing for this attack?” my mimic asked, his dark hair lit at the edges by the afternoon sun.

And yet I was sure there was something more. If it were me planning this attack, I would want more than that. And she didn’t need to sneak in here to do that. She’d indicated that she didn’t know for sure that the Castelan would be on her side in this.

“What are you doing here?” a man’s voice demanded.

Really? Did everyone climb up ten stories for a look at the view? Where did a guy have to go around here to make battle plans?

I turned lazily to indicate that I didn’t jump for just anyone, only to see Lenora’s strapping brother standing there.

“I think Nostar’s looking for you,” I said, turning back to watch the golems.

“I asked you what you’re doing here, and I want a response,” he said, striding up to stand beside me.

Now, there was a man who looked like a hero. He was bulky with muscle and armor and he still moved lightly on his feet. You’d never see me dancing around carrying a bunch of metal around like it was a cape of feathers for feast day.

“Just watching the army of golems that’s going to destroy your entire city,” I said lazily. If he didn’t care about the fate of his people, why should he expect me to?

“My father knows what he’s doing,” Lee Estabis said.

“And when those metal monsters arrive?”

He sighed. “We aren’t so feeble as you think. If they attack – and Eventen says they will not – then we can fight. We have dragons. We have soldiers. Our men are brave and strong. And we have defenses you don’t even know about.”

“Defenses that can save that entire population? Wow. You guys must have magic like I’ve never heard of before.”

He clenched his jaw irritably. “Maybe we do, boy.”

“And what, you’ll extend it over the whole city?”

“The people would need to come to the Castel,” he said through clenched teeth.

Uh oh. The defense – whatever it was – was in the Castel? And Katlana said that she needed to get to the Castel with my help. It’s why she let me take her captive because she was sure I’d come here next and bring her to the Castelan.

I grabbed Lee’s shoulder trying to spin him to look at me, but he threw my hand off with a slight shrug.

“Lee Estabis,” I said through clenched teeth. “You have a special weapon here that can thwart the army marching on your city. And you have two traitors in the Castel.”

“I’m standing with the person we’re most worried about,” he said wryly. “Why do you think I looked for you here?”

“Lenora trusts me.”

“Lenora is blinded by her time with Ephretti Oakboon – that religious zealot. We know Eventen. He has long been our friend. He has brought us gifts over the years and help. We don’t know you. And we don’t believe you.
