Resetting Lady

And your family?

Carynne, thinking of Nancy, tried to sound affectionately nostalgic. She was like family, after all. And shes already dead, too.

Verdic scoffed and grasped Carynnes chin. Her cheek was pressed in his hand. Verdic glared at her, almost trembling with rage as he spoke.

Its true. I come from a nomadic background and owe a great debt to Sir Raymond

Take off her shoes. And untie her.

One of his men, confused, asked,

Hurry up. Dont tell me you think this woman alone is dangerous.
