Chapter 12

We buried Jarrod the next day, and Sebastian became the Lord of Volodane Hall.

As Kai, Sebastian, and I sat down for dinner that night, Kai asked, “Now what do we do?”

I thought it a good question.

“Nothing,” Sebastian answered, sounding surer of himself than anyone I’d ever heard. “I’ve no interest in raising the status of our family or landing a seat on the Council of Nobles. Do you?”

“No.”

“That was Father’s dream, and Rolf’s, not ours,” Sebastian went on. “I only wish to live in peace and not have to deal with anyone or anything I find disagreeable.”

Kai frowned. “You mean live in peace except for taking revenge upon the Monvílles?” His head swiveled toward me. “You wrote to your father?”

“Yes. I had a messenger take the letter yesterday.”

Again, I didn’t know what would come of that, but I hoped Allemond would at least lose his seat and face sanctions. This wouldn’t be enough for Kai, but it would be something.

The days began to pass, and I awaited a response from my father. About three weeks after I’d written, a letter for me arrived. I was alone in the great hall, going over the menus when Betty brought it into me.

“Message for you, my lady.”

“Thank you, Betty.”

It wasn’t from my father, but from Lady Violette Cornett.
