Bryson was dead, her sister could be alive and Omandri was out there unaware of the deal with the devil she had made. It was a rather typical day, actually, for the leader of House Rist. Giandra was getting reports of their well treason and considered what could come after.
She had wanted to avoid this but things were getting out of control. Killing the Queen, she gave no care to that, death came to everyone, but the survival of the House if it failed… that gave her pause. Maybe just not fail but the death of Bryson weighed heavy on her. He was a driving force behind this operation and now he was gone.
She needed a moment and said, “I want to know the moment the Queen is dead, I will be in my office.”
Giandra retired to her office and sat down. She tapped at her desk and then pulled up a secure holo.
