CHAPTER 68

  Lucien:

  My mind was swarming with different possibilities as I paced in my office. It was evening, the dusk just brushing against the horizon. Tiger's words about The Rogue King repeated over and over in my mind. Like a song on replay.

  The Rogue King only hypnotizes when someone wants to turn over a new leaf...grabs for power

  I slammed a piece of paper on my desk, a receipt of some sort. So, Darius, and quite possibly, David were trying to start a new life? Well, that wasn't unheard of. Many rogues I've known have changed their attitudes on me, and while only two have backfired, most of them stay loyal to the crown.

  I rubbed at my eyelids, feeling like I was back in the Revolutionary War again. I worked with Henry Knox a lot, along with Alexander Hamilton. They were both up for grabs at power, being the power-hungry men, they were. Helping Washington got them that power, Secretary of War, and of the Treasury.
