Aiden waited out in the grand hall of the expensive estate, admiring various paintings as he did. He picked up one of the antique magical artifacts that was on display and turned the thing over in his hand. The man was so wrapped up in tracing the runes that he didnāt even hear the servant call for him.Ā āMr. Rasāvanae,ā she called again. This time his slender ears lifted and he cleared his throat before stalking after her since she was already heading off through double doors to lead him to the contact that was waiting for him. The lights were dimly lit in the room and behind the desk sat an all too chipper man almost like himself, his gaze darkened as he stared at Aiden.Ā āWhat do you have for me?ā he asked.
āHere I thought Nikklaus was all about theatrics, I have to hand it to you. The swivel chair, dimmed lights, and even the hot servant chick. You could pass off as a real villain. Iām impressed,ā Aiden replied with a small nod.Ā āTo answer your question though, a lot. So much in fact that Iām wondering what you even have to offer me in return for my time.ā
āSo do I,ā he said, cutting him off.
ā...Iām going to just assume you have something in mind already?ā
āNow that you mention it, I do. Your brother. Heās becoming a problem for me,ā he said all too casually.
Aelen leaned forward with a smirk.Ā āWhat has Lee done this time?ā
There was a moment of silence and Aidenās expression turned more serious. His eyes narrowed as he spoke,Ā āheās getting too close to something that belongs to me. I want you to make sure it doesnāt continue.ā He was finished with Baeliosā bodyguard job for his Lolette. That wasnāt Leeās place in his mind, especially not for his girl. He had seen the two together, chatting up like good friends, and it made his skin crawl. It was time for it to come to an end.Ā āSo what do you say Aelen, feel like making a deal with the devil?ā
āTell me everything you know about Syranis,ā he answered with a smile.
