hasty thump to his chest.
    Exiting the vehicle, Zanus looked up at him suspiciously and asked, “An acquaintance of yours?”
    â€œYeah. As you know, I used to be a mercenary, and before that I was actually a bodyguard in this place called Winslow. This is the granddaughter of the lord of that region, who took care of me back then. Imagine meeting out here like this!”
    â€œI was aware that you’d relocated to this area. So, are you now a retainer to the lord of Krauhausen?”
    â€œNo, nothing of the sort,” Sai Fung replied, because he had an inkling of how Miska’s journey here had gone.
    â€œSplendid. And just what are you doing out here?”
    â€œWell, at present, my job is keeping an eye on the plains. Oh, this is my partner Zanus.”
    â€œAnd do you swear you have no allegiance to the local lord?”
    â€œOn my oath.”
    â€œVery well. Then, could you kindly tell me how to get to Fisher Lagoon’s establishment?”
    â€œWhat?!” Sai Fung exclaimed, his eyes going wide.
    Zanus followed suit.
    â€œLady Miska, that place is actually—well, are you certain you’re not somehow mistaken?”
    â€œNo, that’s the place. Grandfather left word that something of great importance to me had been entrusted to the owner of said establishment.”
    â€œYour grandfather—excuse me, I mean the good duke—is he well?”
    â€œHe died. Betrayed by the villagers. And that’s what brings me to this region.”
    â€œI see. But if you’re headed to Fisher Lagoon’s, Lady Miska, have you nowhere else to go?”
    â€œNo,” she replied flatly, her tone colored by an anxiety that was like a draft under the door.
    â€œIn that case, why don’t you come and visit the home of one of my acquaintances? Needless to say, he’s not a Noble, but someone extremely close in position to the Nobility.”
    â€œAnd who is this person?”
    â€œEr, a scientist by the name of Dr. Brosmen. He lives in a splendid mansion. Of course, it’s still the home of a lowly human, but if you can stomach that, it should prove rather pleasant.”
    Miska’s voice fell silent. Her agitation was made manifest.
    After a bit, she said, “Alas, my business is at Fisher Lagoon’s. That is where I must first go.”
    Clucking disappointment on the inside, Sai Fung suggested, “Then I shall show you the way.”
    â€œThat won’t be necessary. I must wait here for my traveling companion.”
    â€œPardon my asking, but who might that be?”
    â€œI’m not at liberty to say.”
    That made Miska’s connection to the baron crystal clear. While they were aware that a second carriage accompanied Byron Balazs’s, they hadn’t known the identity of its occupant.
    â€œBut look at the flames. Are you sure they’ll make it through?”
    â€œWithout fail.”
    Silent up until now, Zanus interrupted at this point, saying, “And you then intend to enter Krauhausen with him?”
    Miska fell silent. Although she had no direct connection to the matter, Byron and his escort definitely had hostile intentions toward Vlad Balazs, and entering the latter’s domain in their company would be too risky.
    As if he could see into her troubled psyche, Zanus said, “As I recall, the proprietor of Fisher Lagoon’s is one ‘Taboo’ Horton. He and I go way back.”
    Used by confidence men in the Capital who preyed on girls fresh off the Frontier, the trick was as old as time, and Zanus himself seemed somewhat doubtful of whether or not it would work.
    â€œAh, that’s a different matter, then,” Miska said with delight.
    In every society there were innocent hothouse flowers that would wilt with the first cold wind—and apparently even the Nobility were no exception.
    â€œArrange a meeting with him for me right away. Can you do that?”
    â€œAs you wish. However,
