Sylas waited anxiously. As soon as Terion came out of the building, alone. Sylas had a bad feeling. He was sure the man wouldn't bring good news.
Terion ordered his knights to get ready. Then he walked over to Sylas and smiled.
"He'll bring your knight tomorrow night when you arrive at the palace. He'll escort him personally," Terion said. He didn't want to explain what he'd done to convince the vampire to change his mind.
"Are you sure?" Sylas asked hesitantly.
Terion nodded. "You can trust him."
Sylas felt heavy-hearted. But if it was true, it was better than losing Alvaro. He finally nodded. Glancing down, Sylas noticed a red stain on the white shirt under Terion's cloak. He squinted to get a better look, feeling uneasy.
But Terion acted normal as he gave orders for the knights to stand by. The coachman opened the carriage door and gestured for Terion to get in.
Terion told Sylas to go in first.
