She glanced at Kanaru. "Other things would need your attention, but this one should take precedence. If you save Burdett from calamity, your influence will grow so much more."
Rodnir wanted to snap at her for slapping the pretty Sierra. However, he knew how Fenris valued the input of this evil bitch. "I'll deal with those things when I get back. Of course, I'll return. Run the palace just as you were all instructed."
Sierra and Melaka glanced at Rodnir, and Ushka only did her curtsy as if she was still part of the inner court. Then, she flicked her meaningful gaze at Kanaru.
