The panic in the nobleman’s voice caused nausea in Kyle. He despised the creature winding on the ground with every fibre of his existence.
“Think about it, my good man! She was just a little, lousy twat who spreads her crack for men like me every day. Every day! She was just a nothing.”
“A nothing?”
“Why? Indeed. The vermin of our society, man. You can’t kill a Prince for that!”
Kyle laughed coldly. “Oh, I’ve done some research, Frederick!”
Kyle’s voice grew softer now, and still, each word cut in the whimpering man’s ears like the blade of a sword. “Two months ago, you defiled one of your maids with fire and iron. One of the maids wanted to get married ...”
“So? The Right of the First Night! It’s every liege lord’s right!”
“Yes, the stories were all too familiar in Asaanfurth when you had your man Darrigan send the young girls to be ‘broken in’ by you. But our King abolishes serfdom. Apparently, he wants to stop what you’re doing, too!”
“Our King? Araweyn I?” DeBracy spit the name full of hatred. Then he realized what the shadow had said. “Asaanfurth? Darrigan?”
Kyle unfastened the mask and looked down at DeBracy steadfastly. The young Prince opened his mouth, stunned. “You’re the runaway Darrigan told me about. This ...” He searched in vain for the name of such an unimportant person from a filthy village.
“Kyle!”
