LMM 346: Titled and Entitled

Claimer: I do hereby claim all rights and responsibility for the characters in this series of vignettes because the Amaranthine Saga is mine. (Which means I should probably behave myself since anything I say or do could be taken as canon.) Indulge the lot of us, especially the one who’s sure to be a natural.

“Maybe later,” Sinder muttered, clearly on edge. “Do you have any experience handling a roomful of people who are used to getting their own way. As in… always.”

Jacques almost laughed.

Argent said, “Smythe generally gets his own way. Your cabal is outmatched.”

Sinder looked skeptical.

“Tsk.” Argent held Jacques’ gaze. “You should be capable of this much.”

What else could he say? “Yes, my lord.”
