I walked back to my quarters, thoughts unraveling somewhere while my heart was refusing to slow down from what I had learned today. I had so many questions on my mind and didn't know how I would be able to dissect them.
However, one thing was as clear as crystal.
Lucretius knew me.
That one-night stand that happened between us hadn't been a chance. From the time he approached me in that tavern, the way he said that he was able to identify me as a soldier, there was no way that they were just a coincidence.
He must have known I was his nephew's mate. And yet, he offered me a night I could never forget.
Now, he would go so far as to play with me, test me, or even lure me to wherever it was.
Why? Was he testing my loyalty towards Redmund? Or was he aware that his nephew had been unloyal
