We left the clearing as a group. Trinity was walking with Talia and Alexio. I was sort of in a bad mood at the moment. Alexio had deliberately ignored Trinity. He had let Talia come into the woods and follow after us.
Then again, Trinity was not actually his queen. Still, he had worked for us for eleven years now. He had been a model employee and an exemplary guard. I don't know what came over him to make him start acting differently. Well, I guess it could have been Talia. Maybe she had more clout with him than my Little Bunny did.
No matter what the issue was that caused Alexio to disobey Trinity's orders, he needed to be reprimanded about it. I needed to make sure that this didn't happen again. We couldn't risk having Alexio with us to protect Talia, if he wasn't going to actually do as he was told.
