I called Daniel to report what had happened at the Senate.

‘Hades! But good result. How did you make that little cow, Pulcheria, do that?’

‘Don’t try and outthink yourself. Just accept that I have my ways,’ I answered him smugly.

He snorted, but didn’t say anything.

I broke the silence. ‘How is he?’

‘Getting on well. He’s stopped using the stick now and only limping a bit. I think eating, drinking and sleeping are all he needs. Those bastards really worked him over.’ His voice was grim. ‘He hasn’t said much, but I saw him in the pool this morning with Darius and he’s covered.’

Well, I’d seen that during Balius’s checks.

‘He’s strong,’ Daniel said. ‘Just give him a week.’

‘We don’t have a week. We have to move now. He’ll have to sit this one out.’

He grunted.

‘At the expense of teaching my grandmother to suck eggs, can you be extra alert for some kind of retaliatory or asymmetric strike against the family?’

He made a rude but funny comment about over-protective nannies.

My last words to him were: ‘Phase Three: execute.’
