Bring me a Knife

Coughing in a low tone, Eldric hurriedly drank from his cup as he spoke, his focus back on the topic even as he ignored the desire he always felt but knew better than to act on, considering the great price the sly witch in front of him would demand.

She had killed his brother, and although he had helped her, he knew better than to let his guard down. From the moment she found the opportunity she was looking for, he knew she wouldn't hesitate to kill him.

Even as they spoke in the room, his hand hovered over the button under the counter of the bar, which he would immediately press the second he so much as felt that something was off.

If she wanted to kill him, then she would have to die too! He had ordered that the moment anything was wrong with him, missiles should be launched, and the entire mansion should be leveled. He fixed his gaze on the old seductress, who continued to speak softly to him.
