Five Seconds of Frantic Thought
The Black Void - Episode 4269
|
The stranger evidently has very good hearing, or else I wasn't quite as
quiet as I had thought. Now that I've been
detected, I know that I will be in trouble with Anorkin whatever I do. At
least he can't do anything punitive in front
of the stranger if he's pretending that I'm Naomi. So I nervously enter
the study, wondering what I should say.
Should I try to foil the mage's scheme and tell the stranger that I am not Naomi? Would that be brave, or merely foolish? Would he believe me? And how much worse a punishment would I incur from Anorkin? Supposing the stranger did believe me. Would Anorkin dare to take action against someone who, judging by the appellation "milord", is evidently an important person? Could the newcomer protect me, maybe even take me away with him? As I enter the room, the stranger sees my face for the first time, and he gasps in astonishment. "Milady!" he says. "It really is you!"
