A Blood Debt

Sue watched the retreating back of Lanuz Seymor until she lost sight of him. As soon as Seymour disappeared, three elite members of the Legion appeared behind her. 

"How's the vice commander?"

One of the three elites stepped forward before he knelt in front of Sue. "Vice Commander Shuha is in the designated room of the Patriarch, Master."

"How is he?" With how Lanuz Seymor moved, even Sue was reluctant who was better in stealth skills between Vice Commander Shuha and her next opponent.

The elite soldier shook his head slowly. "The situation is difficult, Master. That Lanuz Seymor is… You must be careful with him, Master."

A knot lodged deep between her brows. Blood trickled down her throat as she stifled the urge to lash out at her incompetence. Should she have stayed, Vice Commander Shuha would have escaped the calamity. "Bring me to him."

"Yes, Master."

"Wait."
