CHAPTER 14

Frost sat down and drank his wine while looking around the large eclectically decorated room. He couldn’t help but feel a little frustrated for Desdemona as he looked around at the dismal affair. The only decorations on the cold stone walls were a few lazily hung white clothes and the few tables in the room were just as pathetic.

Everything was so rushed that nobody had time to even gather flowers for the wedding. Instead, they simply used liquor bottles and fruit as centerpieces. It looked like some dive bar was having a live music event, not a wedding.

“Over here,” Ena said furiously as the disgruntled servant placed a fruit bowl on the table. “Faster!”

“I found these,” Fayeth said dropping off various colorful fabrics she’d stolen from rooms in the castle. “Will they help?”

“I’ll figure something out,” Brynn said as she began moving chairs and covering them in cloth. She was strangely furious when she saw how little effort King Asmund and his wives put into everything and quickly took charge. “I can’t believe this shit!”

Brynn started ordering the elves to find vibrant fabrics, centerpieces, and ordered the servants to remove half the furniture. Apparently empty tables were depressing and fewer tables would make everything look more refined. Although she was still furious at the lack of flowers in the castle.

Watching Brynn and the elves made Frost irrationally pleased. The venue didn’t matter to him and the marriage certainly didn’t. At least not as much as any marriage mattered to him since fidelity didn’t seem to matter. But seeing Brynn going all out because she wanted Desdemona to have a nice wedding made him smile.

“What are you looking at handsome?” Brynn said while pointing at some of the servants struggling with a large table. “If you have time to sit around daydreaming, you have time to help.”

“Except he doesn’t,” Slade said as he approached Frost. The two men quickly walked out of earshot of the rest of the hall. “Looks like you were right dog-fucker.”

“Thought so,” Frost nodded as Slade pulled out a map of the castle with several different markings. Each mark signified places Slade found signs of recent struggles. “I knew it was weird that he wanted this done in such a hurry.”

“So now what?” Slade asked while staring down a servant who was paying too much attention to them. “Get the fuck out of here before everything goes to shit?”

“Hm?” Frost said while staring at the map. “Why would I do that?”

“Why would you?” Slade clenched his teeth and fiddled with one of his knives. “Because in the last two months there have been over a dozen assassination attempts on the devil cunt’s fucking life. If you marry that demon bitch, you’re bringing all of that fucking shit to your doorstep.”

“They’re not all assassinations,” Frost said calmly while sorting through the markings. “Look at the locations of these ones. It’s obvious they chose them because of the nearby exits. Since when does killing a person require securing an exit route?”

“Every fucking time,” Slade growled.
