Chapter 24

"She killed them?" Illith asked, throwing back the bedcover. "Every man? An entire company? Armed and armored?"

"Yes, my queen," Sergeant Gillion said. "Every man."

"Including Lieutenant Kandavar?"

"Yes, your highness, sadly."

"Impressive."

The Bloodletter Queen rose from her bed, long white hair floating sensuously around the curves of her body. Gillion watched the continuous creation of onyx threads form in the air and drift towards her, landing briefly before absorbed by her skin. He'd seen Illith accept the gifts of torment many times but always marveled anew. Like every Bloodletter, Sergeant Gillion loved his queen above all else.

"You say she did this alone? The boy was not with her?"

"Alone, my queen. She had the older woman was her companion but the crone did nothing but cower."

"I had not believed the witch capable of such unrestrained destruction."

"She reveled in it, my queen. She was merciless and joyful."

"They split," Illith said, after a moment. "The witch and the warlock pursue separate objectives. This is surprising, given their relationship."

"Yes, your highness."

Gillion shuffled his feet nervously. Entering the queen's bedchamber always made him uncomfortable. She'd left instructions to notify her immediately of any news, but he desperately wished she'd dress. He'd heard stories of other men punished, men who gave in to their lusts and leered at the queen.

Illith sensed his discomfort and moved to the dresser, plucking a diamond circlet to collect and hold her floating hair. Gillion struggled to avert his eyes from his lovely queen, fully revealed.

"Shall I send more men after her, your highness?"

"Yes," Illith said, enjoying his discomfort. "Inform General Gaz I want him to attend to the capture of Ems Fick personally. Capture the Heretic and the boy will do whatever we ask."

"Yes, my queen. Am I dismissed?"

She enjoyed his averted eyes.

"You are."
