Episode 11 - part 2

"Damara? May I know who you are looking for?

«No no no no! Sir Raymi…»

"Answer me, Daymara," he insisted suspiciously.

"I…um…"

Normally I could lie pretty fast, but he caught me off guard.

"That is none of your business, Sir Raymi," was all I could think of to reply.

He fast blinked.

Maybe I could use the strategy of being offended.

"I can't believe that you are poking your nose into my private affairs," I continued, feigning anger, "the truth is, I expected more from you, a man whom I considered honorable and respectful."

"Um… Daymara… I…"

"No, I don't want to listen to you. Excuse me…"

I turned around and walked away as fast as possible. I turned a corner, then another and another and another... until I got lost in the streets of the capital.

I breathed easy. There was no sign of Sir Raymi.

«Please, Supreme, forgive me»

How many sins could be forgiven in pursuit of the king's justice?
