The Unlikely Spy
“The merchant had something of a belly, but he was fueled by fear and the knowledge that whatever Madlen had or had not done, he would be blamed.
And rightfully so.
Madlen had lied about her relationship with Gryff, but Iolo had supported her lie. And the moment he was caught, he betrayed her to save himself. Gareth’s respect for Iolo—never high to begin with—had fallen through the floor.
Gareth thought back to when he and Rhun had questioned Iolo the first time at his booth on the day Gryff had... died. When Gareth had relayed the news of Gryff’s death and asked to speak to Madlen as his wife, Iolo had given him a blank stare.
Despite the fact that Gareth was currently leaping over lines and weaving between tents chasing after the man, he believed Iolo may actually have been telling the truth when he pointed to that moment as his first indication of Madlen’s lie. The question now—or one of them—was why Madlen had lied. The more pressing issue was why Iolo had chosen this moment to run.MoreLess
