Intruder Alert!

The tutor and pupil had just ended their class and were about to make their way outside the study room when a voice sounded inside Yvonne's head.

'Master, we have intruders!' Demon's vigilant voice echoed in the child's mind which made her furrow her brows.

Marquess Samed was ignorant of what was going on in her mind as the etcher and etched were conversing through their mental link.

Thus he continued to look through the study material he had brought over for her without looking at her.

The two people, one adult and the other, a child, were about to step outside the room they had been in for the last three hours when this message from the etcher had arrived.

'How many?' Yvonne inquired as she had caught the plural form that Demon had used.

'Two,' came the prompt answer from her horse.

At this very moment, there were no men in the estate.
