CHAPTER FOUR

Silas stared at the letter and the non-recognizable crest it bore. He didn't know its contents, but one of the help had given it to him and begged him to pass it to Edrea. He was one of the few, if not the only one she wouldn't strike down if the contents of the letter displeased her.

He stared at the crest one more time, wracking his brain to see if he could recall ever seeing a seal like that. He decided it had to be from one of the smaller clans. He wondered what it was about, but then again, there was only one thing that could spark an official looking letter arriving at their doorstep. The human settlement. He didn't know what Edrea's obsession was with it. Her territory was big enough. But that was just it. People like her were never satisfied. No amount of power was ever enough. Even after acquiring the settlement, he knew she would go in search of another stretch to take by force. She had grown a taste for seizure, and now nothing was out of bounds. He sighed as he approached her room. He knew that without a doubt, she was going to be unhappy after reading the letter. Which meant that he would have to bear the brunt of her anger. It wasn't like it hasn't happened before. He had been in more than one situation where she has turned his insides to liquid or made his bones collapse into themselves, reset and collapse again. Just over and over, till she calmed down. She was irrational even when she was calm. When she was upset, the irrationality increased by an exponential amount.

He knocked once, praying that she was out. But then again, he had seen her favorite car in the driveway, and there was no way she would have gone out in another one. Furthermore, he had seen some of her puppets roaming the corridor.

It occurred to him then where she most likely was. The ranking seven of her harem, hardly ever left her side, except she was in the divination room where she went to him alone. He sighed. He was not certain whether even he was cleared to go and disturb her while she was in the divination room. He felt as though he had to wait for her to finish contemplating whatever it was that had taken her into the divination room before giving her the letter. But then again, if it were very bad, she would just blame him for making her see it late, and that would be the end. She never ran out of sadistic punishments.

He knocked once more, now wishing she was involved, her room and not the divination room. There was no response, and he sighed. It always had to be the harder option. It was never the easy one.

Silas headed for he divination room, clutching the letter subconsciously without knowing. As he approached the room, he steeled himself against what he would face.
