Over Brandy “Someone is being a little ambitious in attempting to displace the mountain folk.” Milliardo absently caressed the silken hair crowning the small body nestled against his chest. “We are warned and the investigators will have a report for us in a few days.” Pagan stifled a yawn and propped a foot closer to the hearth, drinking in the warmth of the lowering flames. He was pleased the King had made no move to stoke the fire and knew Milliardo was not going to remain awake the entire night. After the activity and tensions of the evening time was required to allow them to relax. He had to admit he was feeling particularly mellow with a decent drop of brandy in one hand and a warm fire toasting him. “I will not have a single person displaced by the project and no one will be forced out by land-grabbing vultures out to gain advantage.” “With any major project you get the ambitious ones who seek gain above others. We are on guard and action will be taken where required.” “I wish we could have had this time to enjoy a quiet Christmas.” Long fingers cupped the blond head, stroking gently and quieting the child’s restless movement. “It will be far from the first Christmas for him Lucrezia and I had planned.” “I have found very little in this life turns out exactly as expected, Sir.” “True. Regarding the murder. Any suspects?” “Early days, Sir but I would not discount the possibility of one of Lord Richard’s creditors taking action. From what I have thus far learned he was most unsuitable to be included on the list of suitors.” “I want the name of the one who cleared him through security.” “I am expecting word later this morning on who is involved and how much they received as a bribe. I have initiated an independent security check on every suitor contending for Miss Relena’s attention. If Lord Richard was included, given his past unsavoury activities, I am not inclined to trust the security reports on the other attendees.” “Good. It is all very well to have ambition but it is another thing entirely to be ambitious where my sister is concerned.” Milliardo set aside his empty glass and lowered his head to rest his cheek against his son’s hair. “I suppose I should allow you to go to your bed. It has been a long night.” “It has indeed and was unfortunately very far from being boring. While the murder was most unfortunate, as these events go, it was rather successful.” “You don’t have my aching feet, Pagan.” “For which these old bones are very grateful, Sir.” Milliardo chuckled softly. “So why did Chang go off in a huff?” Pagan considered the fire for a long moment. “He overheard something he did not wish to hear, Sir. He now knows of the certain regard Mr. Maxwell holds for him.” “And he was angry?” Milliardo sighed. “Damn.” End
