"How could someone be so ignorant?" Ena could not help but complain when she saw Hayle Gliss again.
"You look older," Hayle said. As always, the man was lying in his bed, naked. He was staring at the ceiling. "Did you finally meet your match?"
"My match?"
"That woman was clearly acting stupid. How could you fall for such a petty act?"
"I did not fall for an act. Clearly, she wanted to kiss the ground where I walked. You have not seen her crazy eyes as she gaped at me. She was like a child!"
"You are hopeless." He sat down and stared at her. "Who would have thought that your weakness would be someone like that?"
"She is not a weakness!" Ena hissed. "She is nothing but an ignorant fool!"
"What about the reports that we received? They clearly said she was a sorceress, a powerful one at that. Do you think the reports lie? Shall we kill the spies that we sent?"
