The Forgotten (The Lost Words: Volume 3) - Plot & Excerpts
But he was feeling very content, at ease. The death of four members, with Count Derrick and Duke Norris the latest additions to the mysterious bout of accidents afflicting the Eracian nobility in Roalas, had reduced the war council to just a few people. The room burst with soldiers. No one was taking any chances. Food and drinks were tasted by a hireling, and all of them went about escorted by at least four guards at all times. Even Bart played his part, having his own men in attendance. They did not know much about his plot with Junner, so they bore seriously. Nothing like honesty to hide a lie, he thought. Bart could see deep, stark fear etched in their faces. Countess Silvia was paler than usual, and no amount of makeup could cover the fact she was terrified. Duke Vincent was the stubborn old fool as ever, with a trace of his suicidal character plain to the eye. But even he seemed distressed by the deaths. Bart’s unspoken ally, Daryl the drunkard, managed to look afraid when he was sober enough to figure out the situation.
