Lilith Enraptured

Lilith smiled at his expectant look and nodded. The man seemed very proud of himself. She envisioned rows of sword blades and battle axes with matching sheathes.

They’d probably throw in inducements like free blade sharpeners with every sword purchase. “Sounds perfect.”

Okay, so one lie won’t hurt.

“I must bathe first.” Sorin began to back away. “Lady Alana has requested a private audience with you. She is waiting—”

“Audiences, by nature, are public,” Lilith broke in, not wanting to talk to the woman.

“It means they wish permission to speak to you. I believe they desire to have a fire ceremony. As the highest-ranking lady in the castle, you must approve.”

“Permission?” Lilith frowned. “They didn’t need permission to call me a witch and hurl insults. I don’t see why I should give them permission to talk.”

“That was before we—”

“Don’t say it!” Lilith held up her hands. “I’ll go audience them and tell them no.”

“Fire ceremonies are well received by the townsfolk. It would be a nice gesture, a gift if you will from their new lady.” Sorin gave a small bow and hurried from the hall.

She detected his feet hitting hard onto the stone as he rushed up the tower steps.

How fitting would that be? A fire ceremony for the people who wanted to burn her as a witch.

“My lady?” Lady Alana came around the corner, as if she’d been waiting for Sorin to leave. Lilith thought it a good thing she didn’t give in to the desire to kiss him. It might not have stopped there. Sorin already proved himself to be a man willing to pleasure her no matter where they were at.

“I’ll give you an audience, Lady Alana,” Lilith lifted her chin up in the air and brushed past the woman. “Tomorrow.”
