Bab 309: The Fairy Queen

Ratte knew that this is the first thing Yggrain will ask him. Sometimes he hates being right! But what should he do here? Can he just tell the truth? I mean, Han will not be able to do anything to me if I tell Yggrain. Han will not even know that I told Yggrain! Han is trying to use me as a double agent but I can double-cross him right now!

And then Yggrain will kill me because I'm no more of any use. 

This was the thought that passed through Ratte's mind at that exact moment and Ratte immediately stiffened. He was right! If Yggrain realized that Ratte was compromised, then there will be no use in keeping him around. What use is a spy that was already exposed? It would just be better to get rid of the weakest link and try something else!
