After dinner, Arad retreated with Tyal, Alice, and Claug back to their room in the guest quarter. His plan for the day had worked flawlessly. Now both he and Gale had shown their trump cards.
While Gale had his resurrection potion that he could make from the Cronos Raptur, Arad had his life-erasing breath. The attitude of all the titans in the castle and city has changed. Now they treated him with both fear and respect.
The guards never dared stand too close to their room, the servants made to bow four times instead of just one for Tyal, and even the food seemed to have gotten a bit better. Arad doubted that Gale would dare skip having dinner and lunch with him now, but that made Arad a bit sad, as he'd miss Joey's food.
But now Arad was faced with another problem. He had gone to his room first with Alice and Claug, Tyal followed just a few minutes after, and she wasn't alone.
She had brought nine servants with her, all women. One of them was the one that Claug knew.
