Mordon
Kingdom of Verin
Tariqin War Camp
Mordon flung the tent flap aside despite the guard attempting to deny him entry. He stepped inside, and Winston looked up, startled. The death grip he had around a dagger stabbed into the table loosened. It seemed Vykusâs words had troubled him more than heâd let on.
The deedan behind Mordon spoke fast. âGeneral, I could not stop him.â
Winston waved him off. âLeave us.â
Mordon waited until he heard the tent flap fall, his focus remaining rooted on Winston. âWhat are your plans for Velamir?â
Winston released the dagger, stepping around the table. âVelamir?â His eyes lit in understanding. âAh, you heard my conversation with that ruffian.â
Mordon didnât falter, his posture firm as Winston drew nearer.
âYou are very clever, Cselnsor. However, I would prefer if you spied on the enemy rather than your own father.â
The enemy. Mordon was starting to wonder who wasnât his enemy.
When he didnât respond, Winston frowned, returning to the table to pour himself a glass of zat. He took a long sip, then smacked his lips in appreciation. He held the glass out to Mordon. âWould you like a drink?â
âI would like to know what youâre planning.â
âStubborn, I admire that. I was tenacious like you when I was young.â His amusement faded. âI put a lot of work and years into Velamir. If he truly is coming, there could be two reasons for that. Heâs either coming for his mother, in which case we will be prepared.â
Mordon scowled, remembering how Winston told Boltrex his wife was still alive. Mordon hadnât seen a woman that resembled Serana in the camp. Heâd memorized a portrait of her as a childâthe only image of a mother heâd had. But Velamir had taken that too.
âBut if heâs realized his mistake and wishes to repent and rejoin Tariqi . . .â
âWhat of Prolus? He will forgive a traitor?â Mordon was tired of everything falling into Velamirâs lap. Why was he so easily forgiven? Mordon was sure if Boltrex found out heâd become a Tariqin Calestor, heâd behead him himself.
âHe overlooked your past and allowed you into the army,â Winston pointed out.
âI was tested and could have easily died.â
âThereâs no use speaking of it. For now, Velamir is a traitor and will be captured on sight. Thereâs only one way for him to get through this camp unscathed, and thatâs if he chooses the right path.â His voice dropped. âMy path.â
Mordonâs brow furrowed. âWe donât need him. Once a traitor, always a traitor. He will turn again.â
Winston peered at him, as if trying to see through his hard exterior. âWhy do you care so much about Velamir?â
âI want to get even with him. At least give him a scar that rivals mine.â
Winstonâs mouth cracked into a hard smile. âIf he doesnât choose us, then you are free to do as you wish.â
Mordonâs fingers formed a fist. He wanted to push harder, but he knew he had to stay calm. Winston retreated to his seat.
âI want you to guard the prisoner tent with your men.
