When the news came to Sigrid, she was on the mage estate, preparing to interrogate the foreign mages. Alistair was the one delivered the news to her, having received it from the butler of the Fairfax family who was one of them.
It brought a smile to Sigrid's lips and even gave her some relief. She could feel it in her soul that she was at the last stop. Once the Fairfax family fell, Emmah would have no more life line and no more helpers.
"What should we do next?" Alistair asked her.
"Nothing for now, let her settle in and get comfortable. I think I will give her a month or two then rip out the carpet from beneath her feet." She had to bring down the Fairfax's along with Emmah.
She needed some time, to set them up for treason properly and that would be in the spring or summer. It needed to happen at a time when tension between Medoris and Eldoria was ripe.
