“Caina had not taken a proper bath since leaving Cyrioch, and she scrubbed the away accumulated grime and sweat with vigor. After that, she drew a second bath, closed her eyes, and leaned against the side of the tub, enjoying the warmth that soaked into her limbs. It almost made her forget her headache. She considered inviting Corvalis to join her, but regretfully decided against it. The orange-clad slaves of the Scholae were everywhere, and no matter how unworldly Annika thought the Masked Ones..., Caina was sure at least some of the slaves spied for their masters. A mercenary guard slipping into the room of his employer’s daughter might be beneath the notice of the Masked Ones…or it might not. And Caina had no doubt the Masked Ones’ spells could pry secrets from the minds of their victims with ease.After her bath, she dried off before the mirror in her bedchamber and dressed herself.

Anna Callenius had no such luxury, but fortunately the garb of a merchant’s daughter was less elaborate than that of a noblewoman.MoreLessRead More Read Less
