"I might be leaving anytime soon. I'll depart together with the other Kings and Lords," Jade said, lifting the awkward silence between the two. She lifted her face to stare at his eyes but something seemed off with this Griffin. Why was he acting so cool? Didn't her charm work on him anymore? But how? It always worked on all men unless he.. No, that can't be! He couldn't have noticed she was different, could he?
Newton poured some wine in his cup internally rolling his eyes. Why would she tell him she was leaving? Was there need to inform him personally? But he knew he had to act according to Griffin's plan. Still, he couldn't understand what it was that Griffin wanted from this woman. To Newton, she was just an experienced whore who wanted to have Griffin between her legs. Women were dangerous! Who knew what she wanted once she had thrown herself to him? Cunning was the perfect word to describe their nature, and beauty was their most powerful weapon.
