As Erna put out the stove’s fire, a series of knocks echoed out: two loud knocks, then one quiet one, then another loud one. That was the code they’d settled on ahead of time so they could let the others know they’d gotten back safely without being tailed. Erna immediately opened the door and found Sybilla standing outside looking like exhaustion on two legs. “Big Sis Sybilla!”

Sybilla waved. “Hey, I’m back.” She’d gotten caught in the heavy rain, and her clothes were sopping wet and dripping on the floor.

“Good work today,” Erna said, handing Sybilla a towel.

“Thanks… Wait, huh?” After wiping her head dry, Sybilla gave Erna a puzzled look. “What’s up with the ice? Is there something wrong with your head?”

“I just hit it a little.” Erna readjusted the ice pack perched on her noggin. “I’ll be fine, though. More importantly, what about you?”

“Me? I’m aces. I just needed to let off some steam.”

“What do you mean?”

“A lot of shit’s gone down today. Hard-core, messed-up shit.”

Sybilla stripped out of her soaked clothes, then set them to dry by the fireplace and sat down in nothing but her skivvies. She quickly summed up what had happened—how she’d gotten captured by a team called Belias, how Belias suspected that Avian had made an attempt on Crown Prince Darryn’s life, how they’d gone around the city searching for Lan, how she’d danced the waltz at a place called Heron Manor, and how she’d heard about Prince Darryn’s sudden passing.

Erna’s eyes went wide. There had been a number of surprising bits of information in there, but none were more shocking than the final reveal. “Prince Darryn is dead…?”

“As a doornail. And everyone’s got a whole shit ton of questions. The whole thing doesn’t make a lick of sense.”

“That news is going to shock the world.”

“The problem is, Lan’s their main suspect,” Sybilla muttered with a brooding look on her face. “As her allies, that’s a whole ’nother can of worms we gotta deal with.”

She was absolutely right—there were a shit ton of questions that needed answering. Why did Avian get wiped out? Why was Belias so convinced that Avian was behind the failed assassination attempt on the crown prince? To that point, who was it that actually killed him? And to what end?

Sybilla scratched her head.

“It’ll take some work sorting through our information,” Erna said.

“True that,” Sybilla replied with a nod. “For starters, though, I need to get some food in me. I’m starvin’.”

“I just finished cooking. Where’s Teach?”

“He said he was gonna come over once he picked Thea up from Belias’s base. He should be here soon.”

“…You might not want to be in your underwear, then.”

“Yeah, true. There’s only so many times I can let the guy see my unmentionables in one day.”

“Only so many times? You mean he already saw them?”

“Gah! I-it’s just a turn of phrase! Forget I said that!”

“Yeep! Quit poking my cheeks!”

“Aight, I should probably go take a shower.”

“Good idea. You need to make sure you keep warm.”

“Yeah, I wouldn’t want to catch a cold.
