Book 5: Chapter 2
I had a roiling mixture of emotions churning through my gut as I made my way towards the assembly quad behind Ling Wei. Perpetrating a fraud wasn’t my style. Straight up and direct was the Berserker way. But having a trump card to hold over the princess’s head wasn’t anything to sneeze at either.
Still, did I have the stomach to do this?
The story didn’t make sense to me, so how would it look to everyone else?
Plus, Blue Rose and Tu’lok had read the letter as well.
I wondered for a second if perhaps Tai Su Long and his lawyers had already figured this out. Proving the letter was a fake was damn near impossible. If that was going to be our defense, then I couldn’t see how it could possibly work.
But I was in Ling Wei’s hands now.
For the most part she said to keep quiet.
I might not even have to say anything.
And considering what I might need to say, that would be just fine with me.
