Chapter Fourteen
Solomon looked out over the small crowd assembled before them. He did not move, nor did he speak. He stood and stared, his expression unreadable.
Gilly mentally ticked off the moments, the tension in the room increasing with each silent second. It was as if the room was filling with water. Gilly saw herself floating at the top, craning her head against the ceiling to get one last gasp of air before going under.
âMace,â she said, her tone sounding wild and panicked. She took a breath, then said his name again in a more moderate tone. âHave you organized a plan for what happens next?â
The wizard looked from face to face in the crowd, then turned back to Gilly, a sheepish expression on his face. âWe hope to take the guards by surprise and overwhelm Sayeed while heâs incapacitated. Once Solomon has bested him, he can banish him from the estate for good.â
Solomon let out a harsh bark of laughter. âSounds like a perfect plan. Except you havenât told me how you plan to deal with the jinn. Or how you plan to keep my brother from just coming back here with a bigger contingent of men and wiping us out.â
Gilly forced a smile on her face, silently growling at Solomon for his defeatist attitude. âThat jinn is a head-scratcher,â she admitted, patting Mace on the shoulder. âBut you seem like a very clever wizard. There must be a method that has crossed your superior mind.â
Mace cocked a bushy white eyebrow at her, then gave a shrug. âWeâd hoped to turn him to our side. The jinn doesnât serve Sayeed willingly. He was compelled by an oath he swore, but the oath was a result of trickery. No one is sure how Sayeed managed it, but I expect heâd be willing to lend a hand to whoever could free him from his compulsion.â
âSee?â Gilly said, her pitch rising as she motioned to Solomon. âWeâve just got to convince him to join our side.â She turned back to the wizard. âAnd how is it going, bringing him over to mutiny?â
Mace looked down at the floor. âNo one has yet had the courage to approach the jinn. He is powerful, and if it goes wrong, heâll alert Sayeed to our plot.â
Disappointment pricked her, but she pushed it away, pretending to be unfazed. âWell, it sounds like I have a mission then. Iâll convince the jinn to join the resistance myself. In fact, Iâm just the Fae for the job.â
âNot a chance in hells,â Solomon said, attempting to shut down her plan before it was fully formed.
âCome on, Solomon,â she said in a friendly tone, punctuating it by lightly punching his arm. âIâve got the skillset required, thanks to my abilities. I just need to find...â Her eyes scanned the room, looking for an appropriate opening. They landed on the demon females, and her mind started to turn.
âItâs too dangerous,â Solomon insisted. âYesterday, you didnât even know what a jinn is, and now
