After Ilya bid us goodnight, leaving us with the knowledge that the green signal had come from the Duchess, and departed, Lydia and I chatted about the underground labyrinth's structure beneath the Starfall Enclave and how we'd collect the evidence.
That's when I told her we wouldn't need to collect evidence at all.
"Hey, can you not do that," Merin whispered urgently.
Her breasts were cushioning my face.
"Bear with it," I whispered back abruptly, my words muffled against her breasts.
Anyway, where was I?
Right. I'd told Lydia we didn't have to collect evidence because Ilya would be with us, and her word was taken at face value by the Duchess.
That's when I remembered mine weren't, and that's why Ilya was here in the first place.
That stung a little.
But still, I should be worried if they trusted a guy they'd met only a week ago.
Cloak...
The wagon rolled over a bump.
"Ahnn.."
I immediately clamped my hand over Merin's mouth.
