Chapter Twelve

At the top of the stairs, the hallway was lined with six doors. The girl went to the one on the end and knocked. “Master, you have two visitors. One is a woman and one is a man wearing women’s clothes.” (Gilbert lifted a hand in protest.) “But they are not lying when they say they have something for you and they mean no harm.”

“Ah, just another day,” a man commented on the other side, and the door swung open. He glanced over the scene with faint amusement in his golden eyes. I had never seen eyes like that before; they were a dark, bronzed color with a shimmer almost as if they glowed from within. Those eyes seemed familiar somehow. His hair was black and thick, slicked back off his face but still slightly untamed like even hair products were no match for him. He wore a relatively sedate variant of the capital fashions: a long, fitted black coat that split in the back, looser gray trousers tucked into black boots, and black gloves, the only spot of color being a blood red cravat underneath. He had the persuasive air of a man who was very good at what he does and knows it.

Paired with a certain air of mystery? Hmm….yes please. It was easy to forget, under the influence of the sigils, that Forrest and Gilbert weren’t quite my type.

But there was one big problem. He was wearing a thin silver headband with a circular, silver ornament on his forehead, right about the same size as a sigil.

I wasn’t sure it was a coincidence that his sigil was covered up so I couldn’t touch the stone to it without his permission. He knows?

“So, you’ve invaded my establishment, have you? I’m very curious to know what you could possibly have for me.” He surveyed us with an assured glance and then paused over Gilbert.

The color drained out of Gilbert’s face.

“Gil? Gil Curran?” My third guardian sounded surprised, even as he looked like an impossible man to surprise. “And don’t you look pretty—”

“I’m only doing this for Phoebe,” Gilbert interjected.

“What the hell? You should’ve given your name at the door! I would have let you in. Come on.” He swept a hand into his room, and Gilbert seemed to muster himself before following.

Meanwhile, I was annoyed because my guardian’s smexy golden eyes had barely even looked at me. The weird artificial girl followed us in, too. The Lucky Dragon swung the door shut before the toughs could think about following.

“Niko,” Gilbert said. “I—I didn’t know it was you.”

“Please tell me you guys weren’t like, together,” I said.

Niko laughed. “Gods, no. I prefer the ladies.” He poured some drinks. I looked around the room, which was full of more stuff. Lots and lots of stuff. Bookshelves were packed, cabinets were full of rocks and insect specimens and weird little contraptions, and there were enough swords to open up a weapon shop. There was an actual treasure chest in the corner.
