Mmm… a stranger helped me to move her to a better resting place. Her body is beneath the trees, in the shade of the mountain. A solemn nod of his head followed the statement. Germanicus wished to honor the women. Arsenio could not agree more. He bowed his head in understanding to the other man’s statement. It would be good to send her away with their voices, their blessing, and to hope that her spirit found that of her mate’s.

Germanicus had news, as well. He said that the lady Satsu had died in Akashingo. He then stated that she had been poisoned. Arsenio’s expression did not shift, but he felt a bitterness rise in the back of his throat like bile. Satsu had been good, better than Ramesses, and it was a shame to know that she had been murdered in her home.

Ah, we are bearers of bad news today, hm? It is a shame that it was not the Pharaoh. His glacial blue gaze shifted coldly toward the Roman. Arsenio thought of his conversation with Qiao, and the plan that he had shared with her.
