Denna's Honor
"The Mother Confessor is a woman of honor," Cara corrects me. "She spared my life even after she found out I killed her sister."
Thanks for that. Cara's always been predictable. She used to babble on about Lord Rahl's honor, too (the real Lord Rahl, not Richard; they say he's dead. I won't believe it until I spit on his corpse myself).
I won't say the plan sprang into my mind entire. But honestly, what does a dead Confessor Underworldbent on revenge, plus a trained Wizard specializing in necromancy at my beck and call, suggest to you?
"Safe journey, Cara. I'll take good care of Richard." He's mine.
"If he has so much as a scratch when I get back…you'll be sorry, Denna." You won't be coming back.
I smirk as she walks away. Our Cara, always Lord Rahl's favorite. She's Richard's First Mistress, too.
Well, not anymore.
Honor is for fools.
