Once again, he looked at the message in his hand and wiped the curse in his mouth. He didn't like the content, and even more so the fact that he had to send it to Farrander. But he had no choice. The King demanded a report on Gerenisse's stay in Gelar, and by no means could he escape this obligation.

However, it wasn't the need to send a letter to the capital that annoyed him as much as the awareness that he didn't get anything important out of the kurell. The woman was quite a mystery to him, although the truth was also that he didn't do his job very carefully. Looking at her stay in Gelar, he would rather consider that the girl was getting used to her new place and making friends than trembling for fear of her prison.

He sighed hard. A small piece of paper even burned his fingers when he rolled it up and attached it to the leg of a predatory falcon.

Tammy, the youngest son of a falconer did not even blink, nor did he comment on his master's behavior. He waited for the lord to attach the message to the bird's leg and only then he took the charges to let him go on a long flight to Farrander.

- I wonder if you like to bounce around more, or look down on the workers from above. - A warm, sensual voice, which spread out just behind Cedric, made the man turn violently. Gerenisse, wearing a blue dress, emphasizing its color and cut, stood just a few steps behind Mr. Gelar, looking at him with a slight mockery.

He tried to keep a serious face, or rather force himself to remain calm, in the face of this strange woman. It wasn't easy, especially since the beast also woke up and, muttering low, encouraged him to reach for the girl. He ignored the whispers of his own blood.

- What are you doing here? - he asked, insisting on a firm tone. Unfortunately, he wasn't doing very well, but instead he was absorbing her figure with his greedy eyes. With some annoyance, he noticed that she changed her already soaked dress to a clean one, her hair was also dry. She seemed crisp and fresh.

- Maybe I wanted to see if you still have grass in your hair? - she threw, reminding him of their unusual adventure in the horse drinker.

He smiled widely, reflexively improving his waist belt.

- I've already had my dripping, if you ask me that... although if you were so curious, you could accompany me to the bathhouse... - he suspended his voice significantly, but the girl didn't fall for his trick.

- You must have mistaken me for the daughters of the grooms," she said, smiling lightly, and Cedric felt his body hardening. She tempted him with her smile and her voice, and he, although he was perfectly aware of this, was catching on to her tricks.

- Watch out, my lady. You're starting to play a very dangerous game, I'm not sure you realize where it will take you.
