What should she do now?
Should she contact Lord William immediately or leave before the Holy Tree Duke arrived? Should she pretend that none of this had happened?
Nizemar was in a state of utter panic. She stood still, her calm exterior masking the turmoil within after the two guards left.
Her gaze turned to the girl named Elise, who was also visibly nervous for other reasons.
"It's okay, Sister Nizemar," she said, trying to force a smile. "I'm the one the empire is after, not you. I'll explain everything to the duke and I'm sure she won't cause you any trouble."
Perhaps sensing her uneasy expression, the girl forced a smile and comforted her.
That isn't a sure thing, especially after I took down more than ten Wild Hunt warriors and two forest druids. Although I didn't injure anyone, taking the initiative to attack law enforcement personnel is considered a felony anywhere… Nizemar thought.
