Lucien

The smile Nadine gives me is a triumphant one. She approaches me, practically skipping, and exclaims, “Beta Lucien! Did you find her? One of your men told me you did!”

I glare at her. By the goddess, she’s the last person I wanted to see because until I figure out what to do with Gianna, I don’t want this to spread around.

If Marcus finds out that I have her here with me and I didn’t send word to him…it’ll be problematic, and I don’t want to make any rash decisions ...
