Nyles looked impressed. "He doesn't talk like no landen I ever heard," he noted. "What're you gonna do if that place is as bad as you think? Invite all the kids back to your Territory and offer them jobs in your gardens and stables?"
"I don't think so," Karla cut in swiftly, before Warren could decide that was an excellent idea actually. "First I go to the Queen of the city and throw a temper tantrum. While I'm doing that, Warren flies to Ebon Rih and summons Prince Lucivar. Probably Jaenelle and Uncle Saetan, too. Then, while the Queen here is politely telling me to shut up and mind my Territory's business, they will walk in. I don't think the orphans will have much to worry about after that."
Nyles whistled. "You know, lady, when you wanna cut someone's legs out from under them, you use a pretty big knife."
Karla winked at the boy. "Part of my charm, boyo."
