Aleco’s plan had been successful so far. They weren’t captured during their overland journey and they weren’t questioned during their progression across the Continent. Any soldiers or citizens who saw them pass by assumed they were making their rounds for product loading in Paso Robles. Aleco didn’t care if they were seen. He was getting bored riding in the wagon and would love to stab a man through the heart for sport. The only exercise he got was bogging Roxian during their breaks of traveling. Aleco ignored Accacia’s look of heartbreak when he would sneak off with her. If she hadn’t known about the relationship, he would have continued to hide it from her, but now that she knew, he didn’t see the point. His needs were met on a daily basis and he wasn’t going to stop that to spare Accacia the pain. He had to feel the lovemaking between Zyle and Accacia for two days straight before they left. She could deal with this.

The ride in the wagon was growing with more tension the longer they sat together. Accacia hated Roxian more than she thought possible. She hated her almost as much as she hated Drake. Laura wanted to speak to her niece about the situation but she was never able to. Zyle always pulled Accacia away when they stopped and Laura didn’t want to intrude on their private time, doing what they always did, she assumed.

On the third day, they camped outside the forest near Paso Robles, wanting to wait for the descent of evening before they approached the gateway. The darkness would make the siege of the city easier. They could hide their faces better and no one would approach the realm until morning.

Aleco went over the plans in detail with the men and the Asquithians hours before they moved to the city. It was essential that everything went according to the plan and they left the city has soon as possible. The success of the war depended on it.

Accacia was sitting against Zyle as he leaned his back against the tree. They were sharing a pack of seeds and water when Aleco approached them across the grass. He kneeled before the pair of them and locked his eyes with Accacia. “Are you sure you want to do this?”

“I thought you were no longer concerned with my affairs.”

“I never said I wasn’t—I said you shouldn’t be concerned with mine. Now answer my question.”

“Yes, I’m sure.”

“No one would judge you if you stayed behind.”

“Yes, I know that. But I’m coming. This is my fight—let me do it. I need to be prepared for Letumian Province and this will give me some practice.”

Aleco knew she wouldn’t be traveling to Letumian but he wasn’t going to tell her that. “This isn’t the time for practice, Accacia—you could be killed.”

“I am confident in my abilities.”

“Then why do you need practice,” he hissed.

Accacia sighed and turned her attention to her bag of seeds. “Go away, Aleco.” Zyle watched their interaction without comment.
