I proposed the plan; the Paradlag. Every single member of the council gathered in the hall waiting for me to talk over what I had talked to Prince Orpheus about. The only additive in the room was Cassuis, Lenora and Lucinda. I cleared my voice to bring the attention back in the room
"Yes, go ahead your highness"
"Gianna or Gia is just fine"
"Right Gianna, no one has a clue as to where the Paradlag had ever been not even I had seen it before" Athan stated tonelessly, made it almost sound he was being sarcastic.
"Yes that's right; I don't know how it looks or how to find it" Master Silas snickered briefly
"So you are offering a latent?"
"Something like that,"
"And you think that it's better than bearing for the prince?" Katherine asked
"Isn't it?" I asked simplyKatherine's face twitch, I could see that she was still having trouble warming up to me and neither did I like her, there is something worth doubting in her eyes.
"No one had ever known its location. It cannot be found"
"It was hidden by a person, and then it can be found. Isn't it an instrument for the gods?"
"Yes" Silas answered
"Then I am in the best position to look into it with a little bit of help of course"
"Help? Presently all bearers had been vanquished. There is no help to get" Athan said with certainty
"I will have help, from Cassuis"
"Master Cassuis?" Lord Orpheus asked
"Yes" I answered simply. He stepped to my side and stood very tall
"Outrageous" I heard Katherine commented, we all heard
"How do you think he can help you venture the Paradlag?" Prince Orpheus asked sitting forward
"He will because he had been looking for it in the past" I tucked my hands backwards behind me while Cassuis glanced my way his brows furrowed
"How?" the prince asked towards Cassuis
"I'd rather not disclose" He stated simply
"You owe your life to me, everything with you are also mine" Cassuis's fingers clench tightly into his skin and I saw his chest rise heavily and fall, Lord Orpheus hadn't been in a good mood not even I would I mess around with him.
"I got a lead before and it's gone out now," Cassuis was cut off by Katherine, "Please more details"
"Why don't you provide the details of Marcos's whereabouts?" She reacted almost instantly as soon as Cassuis asked that
"You have the nerve to question me in such a tone?" Prince Orpheus cut through her right before her breathe dropped
"Marcos will be dealt with; I have already initiated a hunt for him" Orpheus's voice surpass everyone's in the room and for a while we all fall silent
"No, I want him alive. He has something of mine"
"As you wish" Prince Orpheus said but I could see there were questions in his mind
"Please Gianna proceed" Athan said
"Why are you certain about Cassuis's help?" Drusilla asked
"I saw him in Jake's memories, the night his parents passed away" I answered
"I see" said Drusilla
"Who's this Jake?" Drusilla asked strongly
"He's the Alpha of the pack Cassuis held captive and a son to the bearer to the Paradlag" Everyone gasped heavily like I just landed a blow in their midsection,
"Where is he presently?" Katherine asked
"It's no use to involve him into it, he doesn't know" Cassuis answered
"What I want from here is all your help to find it" I said
"Then we intend to start from the obvious place,"
"The city of gods"
After the meeting Cassuis disappeared almost immediately and Lord Orpheus decided to walk me back to my room.
Quietly at first before he started talking, "Of all the Masters assigned all over the world, Cassuis has something in him not one soul holds" he took a pause and I looked towards his face, ice cold as always before I returned my gaze to the path
"An eye" he says casually, my brows arched and my eyes blinked twice in confusion
"But,"
"Yes everyone has these pairs locked in the skull but they don't see what he sees"
"He don't do anything rash but that was before he met you" I died in my tracks while he continued forwards
"What do you mean?"
"That's what I have been meeting to ask" A corner of his mouth crept up while he glanced at me over his shoulder and continued walking.
What? He doesn't make sense,
No!
What he said doesn't make sense. I continued to my room alone thinking of what he said, did he also sees Cassuis's change? But he always looked the same ice cold person? Is he talking about something else?
