"It takes a soldier to command soldiers, boy." Svarezi once again drew his savage blade.
Veltro raised his voice and screamed, cramming himself into the dust in fear.
"You're finished, Svarezi! Colletro's court is finished with you! No Mannicci brideтАФno council seats! No
Blade Council will suffer you again!"
The blade reversed to hover like an ice pick in Svarezi's hand.
"If the council is finished with me.. .then let us finish with the council!"
Svarezi stabbed the cowering young Blade Captain through the roof of his mouth, twisting the blade
down into the sand like a slaughterer. The body beneath him arched, then jerked into deathly stillness.
Svarezi freed his sword and flicked the filth from the blade onto the alley walls.
Behind him, the crossbow sergeant scarcely spared a glance at his master's corpse.
"Did he speak the truth, sire? Will there be no Sumbrian bride?"
"What matter? Where a maid's door shuts, a master's opens."
Svarezi wrenched at the feathered mane of his hippogriff, dragging her beak up from a feast of carrion.
