The Analyst

BeLa listened intently while the General outlined his plan, and she could see that Gunther was likewise rapt with attention.

“Would it not make more sense to let Adelaide know of our plans so that she might be prepared?” BeLa asked Killian.

She knew he trusted his son’s wife, so his decision to have this conversation without her appeared to be illogical.

Gunther and Killian exchanged one of those looks that BeLa never seemed to be able to read.

“She will be furious you didn’t tell her.” Gunther finally said.

“But she’ll be anxious if I do, and she’s been letting her true feelings slip too often as it is.” He paused. “The King has hidden much of his true nature from her. I’m afraid she doesn’t understand the danger she is in, not entirely.”

“So,” BeLa tried to piece together what he had said. “You are concerned she will inadvertently alert my father that something is amiss, thereby rendering the entire mission a failure?”

“Exactly,” he said.

She reflected, not for the first time, how these newcomers were some of the only people she had met since losing Nell and her mother, who didn’t seem fazed by the way she worked things out or her direct manner of communication.

So it made sense, given the pattern that her life had taken, that now they were in the most danger of all.
