Linley couldn’t help but turn his head to the door.
Guillermo was there, dressed in a long, red robe, a smile on his face, his waist straight. His eyes, however, were very fierce and resolved. Under the escort of the two Vicars, Guillermo strode into the room.
“So Guillermo has already arrived. I hope Clayde will be a bit slower.” Linley was filled with anticipation.
The only weakness in this plan of his was the possibility that Clayde and this magus of the ninth rank would come at the same time. After all, the Bloodrupture poison was of no use against a magus.
Linley immediately began to stand up. “Lord Guillermo.”
“Linley, look at yourself. Your face is so pale. Sit, sit.” Guillermo immediately took two quick steps forward to stop Linley from rising.
