Chapitre 36: Chapter 36: Alliance

"Aubrey."

"You, what are you?" She asked. Aubrey's voice was filled with trepidation.

Yet before Rhyland could give an answer, the butler spoke with a sense of urgency.

"Young master, what would you like us to do with the intruder?"

Rhyland thought for a while and answered.

"Restrain him and take him to the basement. Dimitri Korotkoff will need to answer for this infraction."

Rhyland's demeanor was impassive as he said this however internally he was in a quandary. Dimitri Korotkoff committed a crime of trespass. This was an act that was punishable by the leader of the property. He is now able to detain Dimitri until a representative of the council comes to retrieve him and dole out punishment. However, the man now knows the secret of Aubrey's scent!

'Damnit! I should have found Aubrey's necklace earlier.'

"Rhyland, you know that person?"

Aubrey's voice pulled Rhyland away from his thoughts.
