AMBASSADOR CASSIA KOMNENA
IT WAS TIME FOR Cassia to appear before the most powerful woman in the world
and tell her r no.
She drew a shaking breath of humid night air and stared down the path
through the Empress’s cassia trees. Any moment now, she and Lio would
receive their summons to appear before Her Imperial Majesty. This grove
had witnessed so much history. It seemed a fated place for Cassia to change
the future.
She ran her hand over her new medallion of office, comforted by the
weight of the cool silver disk around her neck. Its blood magic emanated
into her, faint but certain to her budding arcane senses.
She might still be human for the time being, but she was officially an
ambassador for the Hesperines now, an advocate for her immortal family
and friends, in service to the Queens of Orthros. I earned this, she reminded
herself. I deserve it.
“And you wear it beautifully,” Lio said in answer to her thoughts, which
he had surely heard with his mind magic. “No need to be nervous, my
rose.”
As always, he understood. Her beloved Lio, all fangs and unconditional
support. She ran her fingers down his fair face and dark, close-cut beard,
her hand coming to rest on his medallion. It was a dream come true to be
his partner not only in love, but also in their careers as diplomats.
But her heart pounded for all the wrong reasons. “I never imagined my
first official appearance as an ambassador would be a private audience with
the Empress herself.”
He rested his hands over hers, holding them to his chest. “You have
already foiled the plots of the mightiest mages and all but dethroned the
King of Tenebra. With such accomplishments to your name, where else
would your career begin but in high places?”
“The Empress’s greatness far outshines those men.”
“You have also negotiated before the very brightest lights—our immortal
Queens.”
“If I were to make a mistake before our Queens, their only reply would
be forgiving smiles, the only consequence my own mortification. In an
encounter with the Empress, not only is her dynasty’s sixteen-hundred-yearold alliance with Orthros at stake, but…” Cassia’s feet seemed fixed to theground, unable to take another step. “The next few moments could alter the
fate of the entire world. Because of my decision.”
Lio touched her shoulders and drew her closer. “Your choices always
transform Tenebra and Orthros for the better. This will be no different.”
“Now my actions will also have consequences for the Empire, our ally.
The homeland of so many of our family and friends. My sister’s adopted
land, which kept Solia safe when she had to flee Tenebra. I could never
forgive myself if I brought harm upon the Empire.”
“We do have a deep bond of gratitude with the Empress.”
