"A missive from Evardin?" Lauren asked, looking at the piece of paper in Alec's hand that was delivered by a pigeon. It was already time for dinner and they were planning to go to the tower restaurant they visited back then. She was fixing her hair when the pigeon came by the window.
"Yes." Alec's face remained motionless as he read the missive.
Lauren was unable to tell if it was good or bad news.
"What is it?"
"Someone from the Supreme House came by." The piece of paper burst in flames in Alec's fingers. He was calm but Lauren couldn't really tell if nothing bad happened.Â
