The wrong kind of prey
It was just as Tanya had feared. Aleena being a naïve young princess had fallen for a simple damsel trap and walked right into an ambush. And the worst part was Ashton Alley was the most avoided part of the city and the guards would not even think to look for her over here.Ezra knew the assailants would not harm Aleena if they discovered she was the princess of Magaravia. Her royal blood would help her squirm out of trouble since they could leverage her and gain something far more valuable from the king in return.However, Ezra still had no clue whether these six women were working alone or if they were part of a larger criminal organization.“Who are you?” Ezra asked. “Are you not afraid Madam Moonfrey might string you up if she found out you were robbing nobles right under her nose?”The oldest in the group chuckled at his words. “Do you think our dear madam would punish us for helping her? If you know Madam Moonfrey then you must also know how she restocks her supplies.”Ezra grinn

The forbidden nectar
Ezra kept watch as Tanya opened a teleportation portal and escorted the princess back to the safety of her royal chamber. Once the portal closed, Ezra quickly barred the front door with a wooden table and set to work, searching the hideout.The shabby walls of the dilapidated building seemed to reflect the dire poverty of those unfortunate few who had been destined to live inconsequential lives amidst the squalor of the largest slum in Valaria.Judging by the creaking floorboards and the cracked ceiling, Ezra could tell that this place was used as a temporary hideout since it looked completely inconspicuous and barely attracted any attention. However, since this place was frequented by so many members of the Bleeding Roses, he was confident of finding clues if he looked around.“You can try interrogating these women when they return to their senses,” Marlin advised while Ezra gathered the unconscious assailants and tied their hands and feet together, securing them to a wooden table in

Pleasures of the night
When Ezra had set out with Tanya, he had plenty of things on his mind, but running into the Bleeding Roses was something completely unexpected. It was as if fate had guided him to this hideout and pointed him in the right direction.The letter Ezra had retrieved from Madam Moonfrey hinted at a strong connection between the Bleeding Roses and the loyalists. However, the elusive noble at the helm of affairs still remained a mystery along with his secret plans.But now that Ezra had found out about the prostitution racket, he could feel he was close to unraveling their secrets.The token Ezra had just pocketed was marked with the initials L.H. and had the numbers 0230 hyphenated with it. Together, they identified the name of the customer as well as the appointed time.Ezra pulled out his silver pocket watch and glanced at the time. It was still a quarter past one and the minutes were crawling by a lot more sluggishly than he would have liked. He still had plenty of time to prepare for his

Sold to the highest bidder
Once the sounds in the hallway had ceased and the place had slumbered back into silence, Ezra quietly slid the door open and slipped outside. The cloaking spell kept him safe from watchful eyes as he walked down the narrow corridor flanked by rooms on each side.Ezra could hear muffled moans and peals of ecstatic laughter coming from the adjoining rooms. They were occasionally interspersed with heavy groans and excited shouts. He could tell the pleasure house had plenty of other customers tonight.As Ezra continued walking down the corridor, one thing puzzled him. He could not understand why Madam Moonfrey would allow a young vice lieutenant to have fun with her girls. His thoughts went back to that day when she had caught a guard collecting bribes from the poor folk of Ashton Alley and given him a sound thrashing.Ezra wondered if Holmes was the only city guard who had been invited to the pleasure house or if there were others like him. To confirm his doubts, he peeped through one of

A noble conspiracy
The conversation between Eva and the captain of the City Guards made it perfectly clear that Duke Carrington was no longer loyal to King Reginald, and his show of allegiance to the throne was only an act to fool the other nobles.However, the evidence was still too inconclusive for Ezra to suspect the other loyalists. It remained uncertain whether Marquis Desmond and his men were being manipulated by the duke or if they too were involved in the whole conspiracy.Ezra knew he could not trust the loyalists, but the stakes just went up as he discovered Duke Carrington was using Madam Moonfrey’s connections to buy the City Guards. As Ezra continued eavesdropping, the conversation became more interesting. So far, he had only figured out a part of the duke’s plans, but Eva spilled the remaining details in no time.“Our most honored patron, Duke Carrington, has everything planned to the letter. You need not fret about anything at all, my captain,” she spoke coaxingly while running the back o

The lesser evil
Duke Carrington was playing a dangerous game, but he knew the king was weak, leaving the throne vulnerable. Valaria lacked a strong leader, and the commoners knew this as well. This created the perfect chance for the duke to dethrone the weak king and wear the royal crown.The only thing the duke wasn’t expecting was outside interference, and Ezra wanted to strike from the shadows and foil his plans before he could vie for the throne.As the discussion drew to a close, Ezra excused himself and ventured into the gloomy night, his destination known only to Marlin.“Care to explain what’s going on in your head?” the old Gunsmith asked, his voice rife with concern.“I need allies. This isn’t a fight I can win alone. Politics is beyond me,” Ezra replied as he flew across the city and landed right in front of the Tower of Justice. “Duke Carrington has the Bleeding Roses in his pockets, and the only ones who can foil their plans are the Black Nightshades.”“You do realize they have no allegi

A royal affair
Trusting the leader of the assassins was never an easy task, especially after the attempt on the king’s life. But despite all his flaws, Angelo was known to be a man of his word. And his promise was all Ezra had to go by in these desperate times.With Duke Carrington and his accomplices conspiring against the crown, only the Black Nightshades could tip the scales and keep the conspirators in check. However, Ezra knew Angelo would not let this favor slide cheaply. But for now, Ezra felt relieved knowing he had bought some time for the king and his allies. “Five days is not enough time to win Princess Aleena’s trust and convince the king to step down. Are you sure this was a good idea?” Marlin asked.Ezra took a deep breath, stepping perilously close to the ledge, and replied, “It was the best idea I could come up with. Besides, at least we will have one less enemy to worry about.”When Ezra returned to their mansion in Verdant Gardens, Tanya and Count Gressil beamed in with their ques

Revelations
Esmeralda’s sudden arrival caused quite a bit of commotion since she brought news of Duke Carrington’s upcoming visit. Servius immediately instructed the Royal Guards to prepare a formal escort and ordered the attendants to prepare the banquet table.Though Esmeralda had been sent here with the express purpose of announcing the duke’s visit, her thoughts wandered off at the sight of the two hooded guests.“It’s Lord Nazarus and Lady Nixia, is it?” she asked in a tone feigning innocence, but Ezra knew she had already discovered who they were and was merely toying with them.Before Ezra could get ahead of himself and stir trouble, Tanya clasped his hand and shook her head, motioning him to stay calm. Instead of letting him engage the enchantress, she took it upon herself.“I believe we’ve met before, Esmeralda, wasn’t it?” she asked, turning around. Esmeralda smiled gleefully, her face with a peculiar excitement, and bowed. “I am honored by your remembrance. So, are you here to meet Hi

The weeping witch of the tower
Ezra knew Aleena’s mistrust and fury were justified. After all, they had lied their way to get close to her and kept her in the dark about way too many things. But, despite her harsh words, deep down in her heart, she was secretly praying for their success.Queen Guinevere had spent almost half a decade confined in a room on top of the Celestial Tower, separated from the whole kingdom. It was a cruel way to deal with her illness, but the king’s advisors thought it was the only way to keep her safe.The royal physician had tried his best to cure the queen’s affliction, but her condition had worsened over the years, forcing the king to resort to desperate measures. Aleena still remembered her mother’s loving touch and her tender embrace, but the whole kingdom seemed to have forgotten the kindness of the queen. Rather, they now remembered her as the weeping witch of the tower.Though Aleena was safe from all the cruel rumors inside the palace walls, whenever she stepped outside to visit

A cure for the queen
Aleena’s eyes widened with horror as she felt the overbearing weight of Tanya’s words on her drooping shoulders. Her heartbeat quickened, and a cold shiver ran down her spine, making her fingers tremble. “What’s a blood curse? And who would curse my mother?” she asked in a quivering voice, her lips pale and dry.Tanya pointed her open right palm at the wailing queen and whispered in a mellow voice, “Let your troubled mind find peace in Ishani’s care as the stars find shelter in the lap of the darkling sky. Let your worries be eased by the grace of the comforting maiden.”As soon as she uttered those words the queen’s voice became muffled and her threats turned to mumbling noises. Her eyes became heavy with sleep and she slowly eased into her bed, her head laid onto the downy pillow.“What did you do to her?” Aleena asked in an anxious tone.Tanya looked away from the sleeping queen and replied, “I gave her the rest she needs. But don’t worry, she will wake up in a few hours.”Althoug
