The Veil was not only testing the crown but also the resolve of those who served it. Aera traversed the halls with silent grace, observing, listening, and guiding.

Every misstep, every hesitation, every trace of apprehension was meticulously recorded and analysed, preparing for the day when the Veil’s network would be unveiled.

she said, not an ounce of fear in her eyes. "You don't have to attack me like that. I will not take this insolence from you, we both want something from each other, both a means to an end so you will not talk to me like I'm some sort of dirty dog while you are the saint" I fired back at her. She looked at me for a long time. Her face softened with each passing second. Finally, she laughed and shook her head, removing the shawl that was wrapped around her. She was wearing a veil underneath, one that made me wonder why she had the shawl in the first place.

Silk. He tied her wrists together behind her back. "Can you move?" he asked. She tugged. "No." "Good." He stood. She heard him move away. Then the light clicked on. Vienna blinked.

The gasps and the yelling starts, and I don’t understand why, so I bring the card down to my eye level and watch it. The card is black with what looks like six white silhouettes on it. There are colors beginning to swirl within each of the white silhouettes. Glancing up I see six figures walking toward me, but I can’t make out who they are. “Mistress to the Veil! The whore and her men must be sacrificed! You know the law! Kill the betrayers!”

The cloth I used to blindfold your eyes—don't take it off, not even if you would take a bath or shower.” My hand reached the blindfold of my eyes, feeling the soft fabric. “What does this do?” “Just think of it as a protective cover. It will protect your eyes from being damaged so don't take it off—well, even if you take it out, it won't still come off.” “So, how does this come off?” “Once it has done its service, it will naturally take off on its own.”
