Chapter 7

Lucia liked the house she was in. There wasn’t any magic around and all of her servants were gone, but she’d already decided that when she was finished with this house, she’d simply move to another and then another, until she had to go to another street. But she thought it wouldn’t come to that. She’d have Richard where she wanted him and Ryiah would be dead. And once that happened, she’d have her magic back as well.

The faeries had left her, the ungrateful shits. Not a few at a time, but all of them had simply disappeared as if they had an appointment on their calendar. Lucia was going to punish them all as soon as she was in power again. And the first one she was going to take care of was that bossy Hunter. Had she had her way, that bitch would have been dead long ago. For reasons that Lucia did not understand nor like, Ryiah protected that thing with her very life. But after this, she was going to be hers to do with as she pleased, or she’d know the reason why.

Lucia had been planning out her life since she’d figured out that magic could not just open doors from a distance, but could pull things to her that she wanted without much in the way of effort or expense on her part. She’d had such lovely things as a child, and those things had never gone away when she’d gotten older and her tastes had become much more expensive. So much clothing was in her wardrobe that she’d had to expand her closets so that it would all fit—shoes too. And her handbags had been the envy of every person she ever met. Now it was all gone, thanks to her sister.

Ryiah would have wasted the magic had Lucia not taken it from her. She knew this as well as she did her own name. Where Lucia had made it work for her, Ryiah would let it go, using not just her body to get things done—manual labor, in other words—but she would do it until she dropped. That wasn’t what magic was for. But it had gotten her into a few jams over the years.

Several times she’d had to go before the Gathering. And usually she’d have to pay a fine, or worse yet, she’d have to work for them for a time. Of course she never did. Manual labor wasn’t what she was meant for. Even when she’d been stripped of her rank and sword by Richard’s father, she’d not paid much in the way of comeuppance. The fine, in her opinion, had been paid when they’d made her stop going to the battlefields. But money still found a way into her pocket.

That was when she came up with the idea that Ryiah would get her out of trouble. She would do the things that Lucia was supposed to do, and when finished, talk the one she worked for into giving her a glowing but false recommendation.
