Chapter 506: Mora Manor
A pair of guards stood outside the Lady’s room. When they spotted Stryg, they stood upright at attention and saluted.
“Aspirant Stryg!? You’ve returned!” one of the guards said. He tried to keep his expression calm, but his cadence betrayed him.
It seemed word of his magical exploits had spread. He’d have to ask Maeve how far. “Is she in there?”
“Ah, yes, Aspirant,” he nodded.
“Um, Aspirant. I must ask, who is she?” asked the other guard, pointing at Aurelia standing behind Stryg.
Her yellow eyes narrowed and she bared her teeth in a silent hiss.
“She is none of your concern,” replied Stryg. “Open the door.”
The guards glanced at each other and then at the goblins hesitantly. “Aspirant, we know our lady has made it very clear that you are welcome here at any time, but she also made it very clear not to be disturbed by anyone.”
“Unless it was an emergency,” the other guard added.
