‘I don’t want the ifrit to know anything more than necessary about him.’ Dara frowned at the fierceness in her voice. ‘Why not?’ ‘Would you die for my daughter, Darayavahoush?’ The question surprised him, and yet the answer was already leaving Dara’s lips. ‘Yes. Of course.’ Manizheh gave him a knowing look. ‘And yet, would you let her die for you? Suffer for you?’ She has already suffered for me. ‘Not if I could help it,’ Dara said quietly. ‘Precisely. Affection is a weakness for people like us, a thing to be concealed from those who would harm us. A threat to a loved one is a more effective method of control than weeks of torture.’
