Soren's Doubts

Chapter 13

 

Soren was pacing in the grand hall, his footsteps were echoing on the cold stone. 

Evelyn had positioned herself at the center of this dangerous new world, trying to hold all the hands in the manipulation going on with precision, but Soren was beginning to see all the cracks in it. 

The door opened immediately, and Evelyn entered, her dark gown was following behind her like a shadow. 

Her cold look was locked on her son, and she smiled faintly, though it did not even reach her eyes. 

"You look troubled, my dear, is there something on your mind?" she said, her voice was smooth and much practiced.

Soren stopped pacing and turned to face her, his expression was very hard.

"We have already made enemies on all sides, Mother. Lucia is not just gone, she is now out there, and the wolves know it. The rumors are spreading like wild fire. How long do you think we can keep up this game?" he said.
