Both sides want her now. He made a choice.
He did not ask permission first.
The Order declared Esme Carrow compromised and missing.
The Kethveil faction identified her as something more
dangerous than a functioning hunter: a compromised hunter
with access to two hundred years of founding documentation.
She belongs to neither side. She has known this for
three weeks. She has been building toward it.
Sebastien Noir stands before the Bloodveil Court
all twenty-three members and states that she is under
the Court's protection. He does not ask her first.
She says, quietly: you did not ask me.
He says, equally quietly: you would have said you did not need it.
She says: yes. Pause. You would have been wrong.
He turns to look at her. I know.
Four centuries of complete control. The first impulsive
decision. His Court witnessed it. So did she.
She is still deciding whether it was the right call.
She suspects it was. She is not ready to say so yet.
Book 4 of The Bloodveil Chronicles.
