Chapter 118 Old habits.

“Sir Antony.” Doris bowed her head because she wasn’t sure what else to do. The old man only laughed and she felt the heat crawl up her neck. She hadn’t yệt broken her old habits.

“No need for that, my child. It seems I’ve been in the dark about some of the matters between rogues. I woke up this morning to an empty house and village.” Sir Antony brushed his hand across one of the horses though a sad look formed along his features.

“They haven’t told you anything?” Doris asked in disbelief. “Surely you must have noticed the tension—“

“I was told it was being handled respectively, now I see that wasn’t true.” He glanced over her shoulder. She didn’t have to turn to know that William was there. Sir Antony didn’t smile, but he didn’t glare at least. “You look just like her.”

His soft tone shocked her a bit. Doris glanced back to see William clench his jaw. They all knew he meant William’s mother that used to live in this very camp. “Must be why my father hates me.”

Doris cleared her throat and took a step closer to Sir Antony. “Is there anyway you can help us? Perhaps they would see reason if you were to intervene. I know how highly they all think of you.”

I was beginning to think my messenger was keeping them for himself.”.

“I did. I didn’t think they would be useful to me.” William said calmly. Doris looked at him, surprised. She didn’t know that he had been ignoring an invitation with the founder of the rogues. Doris hadn’t seen Sir Antony come out of his cabin since she arrived, she thought he was just unwell.

What did he mean that a meeting wouldn’t be useful to him? She couldn’t think of anything more useful than having the founder of rogues on your side.

Sir Antony offered a small, sad smile. “I know you are the reason my people are separated. You owe me a reason, the very least.”
