"I know you will not disappoint me."<br/><br/>* * *<br/><br/>As the day wore on, Tannow went about his own preparations for the task he was undertaking. He thought, even though it was probably untrue, that he had more work to do with this scheme than even #74. Hopefully her other side would be ready to accept this plan when they spoke about it, then nothing would go wrong...<br/><br/>Kagan, on the other hand, seemed to keep his distance from the elf throughout the day, taking up inspections to the stables and other outdoor tasks. Internally he was thinking, trying to piece what he knew together, but the wild theories he was coming up with couldn't have been true. Tannow couldn't be aiming for the crown, could he? That would be a very impressive reach, even for one as powerful as he was now. It would be all but impossible without the support of others, key opposition removed, all sorts of complicated maneuvering.<br/>Even though it was ridiculous, however... Kagan couldn't shake the thought that it was indeed the master's plan. And a plan like that put his entire household in mortal danger, slaves included. It may have been time to seek escape, or to become a thorn in the side of the scheme before it could start.<br/><br/>After all, if that was the scheme, the orc had a way in. #74 was involved.<br/><br/>Both men now waited to see the elf. Tannow awaited Setrina in his study, and Kagan made his rounds through the grounds hoping to stumble on her if she left the manor.
