He May Insult You

Adrianna kept her hands on her waist and paced around the infirmary. She noticed that there was white mist all around them. "Why are we surrounded by mist?" 

"So that no one hears us," replied Isidorus. 

Adrianna nodded and then stared at Isidorus with narrowed eyes. "Mihr was Cy's friend and we have already established the fact that the attack on the royal carriage was done by one of Mihr's men. Don't you think that if I go and tell him that I will support his endeavors, he will think that I am weak?"

"Yes, I want him to think that. He may even insult you, but you have to bear it in order to win his confidence." 

Adrianna scoffed. She went to sit on the bed where Liam was. 

"Do as I say. If he tells you to show you his solidarity, promise him that you will kill me as soon as the crowning is done."
