Chapter 5
A servant stood at the door, sounding a bit snobby. “Ms. Huston, Mr. Argent is pretty drunk. He says he wants some pumpkin soup. Can you. get up and make it for him?”
Alaricka lowered her eyes.

“What are you doing here?”
The servant carefully watched his face, a flash of malice in her eyes.
