Summary
“Because I am placing my trust in you.”
Camilla glared into the back of her adept’s head, a tense half-step behind him and the necromancer of the Ninth as they swept through the halls to Lady Septimus’ sickroom like two different birds finding themselves briefly on the same flight path.
She trusted the Warden’s judgment in many things. In most things. Camilla was smart, but her necromancer was infinitely smarter; if he was putting together pieces of this mystery she hadn’t arrived at yet, she would follow his lead, and back him up without question, to the last of her strength. But that didn’t mean she couldn’t stare daggers when he was making her job difficult.
Cam's POV on Harrow and Gideon, during and after the deaths of the Fourth.
