When Lazarus traced back to the tent, he found Maeve talking to Naomi and Cain over wine and they were all laughing at something.
"Where did you go, Lazarus?" Maeve asked as she got up from the mattress. She had to put up the act of showing that the two of them were a couple. So she walked to stand beside him. Even though she hated it, she curled her arms around his and purred, "Did you go after Olya?"
Lazarus was genuinely surprised that she was standing with him with her arms over his. And somehow, he felt… repulsed. But he shoved the emotion down immediately. "No," he replied dryly.
Cain twisted his lips when he saw Maeve with Lazarus but as long as his ambition of getting Brinefall under his control, fulfilled, who was he? "Well, what do you have to say about Olya? Would you want to marry her? She will be a good wife."
