"This afternoon, you will assist Teeg." I stared at Gavin. Would I ever see an emotion cross his face that wasn't anger? Not likely. Not if it were aimed in my direction, anyway. Two weeks had passed since I'd sent my message to Kooper, and no answer nor any arrests had been made. Either he'd ignored the message or he hadn't received it for some reason. Refusing to read my sire and squaring my shoulders, I lifted Queen Lissa's coronet onto my head and adjusted it before following Gavin to the Council Chamber. * * * The first three prisoners were accused of petty crimes—theft, mostly. They were given sentences of prison time and in all cases, restitution and service would follow. Then the next trial was announced. I had no idea that Skel Hawer had been brought to the dungeons of Le-Ath Veronis to face trial. Too many other things had taken up my time and nobody, especially Gavin, had thought to inform me of the fact. I'd deliberately refused to read him for the most part after learning how to block the visions, so this had come as a surprise.
