Capítulo 408: Darkest Before Dawn

RETH

When the Captains left—Behryn to rest, Tobe to rally the last groups and bring the warriors to the training grounds at dawn so Reth could speak with them—Reth was supposed to take Behryn to Aymora. But Hollhye, it turned out, had merely waited outside, not trusting Reth to keep his word.

He would have. But the truth was, he was relieved that he didn't have to. He wanted one more, private conversation with Suhle before he faced Lerrin—or had him killed.

So when the others had left, in the coldest, darkest hour before dawn would light the sky, Reth trudged through the City, under guard, to Charyn's house.

Charyn's wife was a quiet, but pretty wolf who bustled through the house bringing drinks and flustered that the King had come to her home. He smiled at her and reassured her that he wasn't in need of anything except a little time and privacy with Suhle.
