Destiny
“Sembrin was out of that house with no one but Jost Feriun, his guard commander, as escort, and the feeling of freedom was so heady that someone might have thought he'd been drinking.
But for the last day and a half, Sembrin hadn't had more than an occasional sip of wine to drink. After somehow getting free of the control Bensia and the children had had on him, he'd realized that his only hope of staying free was to pretend that nothing had changed. It had been a terrible struggle to make himsel...f actually feel as unconcerned and satisfied as he'd been when under control, but he'd managed it because he'd had to.
And Bensia had apparently been taken in completely. The vile woman had smiled to herself and ignored him, and the children had done the same sort of ignoring they'd been indulging in for years. They all went about their business without giving him a second thought, showing only indulgent smiles when he took "Bensia" to their bedchamber for what was supposed to be pleasure. The only pleasure involved, however, had been the opportunity to relax for a while… "We're almost there, my lord," Feriun murmured, bringing Sembrin out of his thoughts.MoreLess
