Chapter 70: A complication 

(The present)

Semeen stared at Sir Judd briefly before she turned her eyes back to the road. 

She could see his uneasy expression and posture. She bet he has a million and one thing going on in his head at that moment.

She knew more than anyone that failing to protect a loved one was a weight that could break even the mightiest of warriors and the kindest of hearts and Sir Luther Judd was not immune to it.

She knew this because Elliot's death broke her in ways she didn't even know she could be broken and he wasn't even a sixteen and half year old trusted in her care.

She wanted to tell Judd that she shares in his worry and pain but the lead knight was just staring at an empty space like he wasn't even there anymore.

Using the mirror in front of her, she checked to see if Julian was still awake but he was fast asleep in the back seat.
