25
After Myla left for her secret mission, I make my rounds at camp, checking in on all my ministers. Jali still isn’t taking any visitors, which concerns me.
I worry for little Rashida.
Setting Jali aside for now, I make my first stop: the House of Kamal. Or rather, the cabin of Kamal. Here I find the Duchess has already invested in new furnishings, saying that Devak would have wanted her to go shopping. Who am I to disagree?
Next I drop by the Striga cabins. No one seems particularly upset at Silvinio’s passing, except perhaps those he once placed bets with. It’s sad to have lived for six-hundred-plus years, and yet in the end, your closest relationship is with your bookie.
Before I know it, the time has come for my official court dinner.
And Myla’s surprise, whatever that is.
