“I know things about you that could potentially be embarrassing, but I only care to know them because my heart, and my family name, are that important to me,” Ashley stated patiently.Tyler swallowed.Every time she said the word “heart,” something stirred in his.“You’re seeing Vincent Kramer’s girlfriend, not so?”Tyler’s face paled.“How –”“I told you, my heart is priceless,” she cut in gently.Tyler spun away and took three steps back, away from the Lady before him, his mind analyzing what was being said, and what was not.After a moment, the new Tyler Varsen turned back to the seemingly new Ashley Belarnt. Two people who no longer needed to pretend to be less than they were. Two people who had to face the elephant in the space between them, which both had been ignoring for months.“How –”“I’ve had you followed for two months. What is that club you go to every week?” she commented evenly, then asked inquirin

“I like all versions of Lady Ashley Belarnt,” Tyler droned, pressing her against him as her face reddened. Her full length rested against his powerful frame, her feet barely touching the ground as he held on to her.Lady Belarnt gasped, her eyes getting darker once again.“But I’m not available,” he stated as he gazed softly down at her, his expression steady, like his heart that beat against her racing chest, a small smile on his no longer pale face.Ashley smiled, her lips trembling.“What are we to do?” she breathed, tracing his jawline with her finger tips.Tyler held her. Their bodies saying what their minds could not voice out.Ashley did not command Tyler, and Tyler did not try to use the incident with her father against her.The Lady did not issue any threats nor make any demands, and Tyler did not make any accusations or insist on leaving the company.Ashley Belarnt had the advantage, they both knew it, but she was not

“No, it’s not! We can’t even be sure of what the hell he is! He may be a plant sent by one of the other houses!” Brandon, finally getting a chance, jumped in heatedly.“That fucker has always been suspicious! He doesn’t look like a mine inspector for fuck’s sake! And what’s with that attitude?” he continued, his voice rising with every word.“Has my father ever struck you?” Ashley commented quietly, interrupting Brandon’s tirade when he paused for a quick breath.“What?” he asked incredulously.Ashley’s bright eyes shifted to her dark-haired aide.“My father, Lord Belarnt, has he ever hit you?” she asked again, as if she were speaking to a child.Brandon croaked.Her blue eyes shifted to Adrian. “You?” she asked, inclining her head slightly to the left.Adrian gaped at her, then shook his head.“It’s an experience,” she continued calmly, leaning back against her chair, her posture straight, not slumping like she had roug

“Are you mad?” Tyler grumbled under his breath, even as he fought down a smile.“On Mondays, yes,” the voice droned.“What are you doing here?” Tyler groaned.“Taking a stroll in a public park, like any ordinary citizen.”“Lincoln…” Tyler complained.“What?”Tyler opened his eyes and almost screamed. But he was Tyler Esteil. He understood almost within the same second as the shock hit.He exhaled silently, his taut expression clearing.Lincoln Brazer did not look anything like himself.A young student with auburn hair and black eyes was throwing coins into the fountain, casually talking to a stranger in a heavy coat with dark hair and hazel eyes.Tyler almost laughed.“What is this? Your vision of yourself?” Tyler teased his sponsor.“Ha!” Lincoln scoffed quietly. “Please.”The young student was female.“Are you trying to get me in trouble then? For soliciting an underaged kid?” Tyler p

Tyler’s gaze moved back to the younger man, a wry smile on his face.Raymond’s eyes were watery.“Are you…,” he coughed, “are you serious?!”“Yup.”“Come on, Ty!”“What? I don’t like them. They should learn to mind their business, and if they can’t, they should stay out of my face,” he replied casually.“You told them to act like they don’t exist!” Raymond chortled.“They don’t.”“But it should be the other way around, no? They should act like YOU don’t exist!”“But I do.”“Oh my god!” Raymond laughed now, from his belly.Tyler grinned at his young colleague.After a moment, Raymond wiped his eyes again. “Oh my! That’s a lot to handle on a busy morning!” He remarked laughingly.Tyler cleared his throat.“So you’re going to attend this… dinner?” Varsen prodded on behalf of Esteil.“Yeah,” Raymond coughed again, then composed himself, though a smile rested on his face. “It should b

Next, Tyler had to deal with the magic. For that, he already had an item in his pocket, a cloaking device, to get him into places he didn’t want to be seen, but it was not something that could be used for an extended period of time, or in front of real magic users.Nobles were real magic users. Nobles were not simply wealthy people; they were a higher breed. It was what and how they were classed as nobles, and highborns were classed as such and on and on, down the line.As real magic users, it was not easily known what type, or the nature of protection, any particular noble had, but given the guests for the night, Tyler was not going to try to use petty magic in their presence.Nobles also kept actual guards, of various backgrounds, around them; from soldiers to mercenaries, from combat professionals to mages. Walking around invisible was a joke.So, he activated his gem and jumped over the wall not far from the server’s entrance. He kept low, even though

Henry Kramer was both a miner and a master alchemist, another widely known fact.But in the present, Tyler could feel the natural power from the man and could not help but be fixated. It was the same way the Master of Miran House had been able to sense the power within Vincent Karmer, the former boy, now man’s crafter abilities.Tyler could also sense the protection that surround the old man, as he could the rest of the family, in fact, as he could on every noble in the room, but with Henry Kramer it was different… deeper.The old man’s gaze swept the room and Tyler almost ducked down. Instead, he averted his eyes, focusing on the guests’ glasses he was supposed to be monitoring.As a former servant, impersonating a mere waiter was something Tyler Esteil could execute with absolute ease. His skill matched every training those around him had received. His presence, his movements, nothing drew attention.When he glanced back up, the Jergens’ party wa

Immediately before of the high table were four tables for the other leading noble houses: Belarnt, Jergens, Perrisel, Voltera.Behind these were the next group, and the next, until it got to the lowest invited guests who were seated mixed.The setting was one that displayed the order among nobles.Every table had the name and title of the guest. No one could say they did not have a seat. No one could say they were not catered to.No unnamed person, except the servers, could enter that room.As Tyler returned from fetching yet another bottle of wine requested by yet another guest, someone bumped into him. He mumbled an apology, reflexively bowing deeply as whoever it was, was a guest of the noble house of Kramer and tonight, would be a noble as well, of whatever ranking.The person waved him off then a small had grabbed his upper arm forcefully.He glanced up, his heart pounding against his chest, to find the last person he had imagine

Emily almost jumped up but forced herself to keep still, even as her face changed color.“Are you alright?” Lord Jergens asked his daughter softly, his voice low as civilized conversation floated about the room, but the light panic was clear to Emily’s ear.“I…,” she stammered, then swallowed, closing her eyes for a second. She reopened them and turned to her father.“Yes, Father, I’m fine. Too many people, I think,” she continued, lazily placing a lock of non-existent hair behind her ear, given that her hair was fully held up in a bun at the top of her head.Lord Jergens eyed his daughter, whose gaze was averted. He said nothing.Midnight. I’ll find him after this dinner, and if I don’t, I know exactly where to go, she reflected firmly, then venomously.You work here? Nice try, Tyler. Nice try!==========An hour in, the lights dimmed and everyone fell silent. Lord Henry Kramer stood to address the room.

Eight years ago, Emily had tried to kill herself by jumping from the roof of the fifteen-story hospital building.Tyler had caught her by the wrist as she had sailed through the air, well, fallen, but she had jumped with enough push to fly forward before dropping down.Tyler had used magic that had felt like molten lava spilling from his head to his feet to reach out and catch both the forlorn female and himself, hanging off the roof’s edge with one hand as he held onto the girl with his other, keeping her from hitting the side of the building.He had gazed down at her vacant expression, which quickly turned into hot rage as she shook herself, and him, vigorously to get him to release her.But she was too weak, too light, to shake the steady, sturdy boy holding onto her as if it were his own life he was saving.“Are you mad?” she screamed at him as if he were the one trying to jump to his death. “Let me go!”“No!” he yelled down to her as sh
