'Lurent,
Gabriel's personal servant, needs to be replaced with one of ours.'
Lurent had been with Gabriel for years. If anyone knew the depths of the Lord's secrets, it was that man. Replacing him wouldn't be easy, but the Queen wasn't interested in easy.
Talon folded the paper, then tucked it deeper into his pocket. He'd burn it later.
He ordered a plain steak and undiluted juice to avoid suspicion.
His mind was already calculating how to make Laurent disappear without raising an alarm.
Luna had told him to follow the instruction on the note with Doctor Thessa's help.
The Queen had been clear: he was not to act alone. Thessa was already part of the inner circle now.
As soon as he was done with his meal, he headed to Doctor Thessa's home. She got into the car with him as he handed the note to her.
Thessa read it once, her brow arching slightly. "Lurent, huh? Interesting."
