Caina's eyes widened. The Imperial Library was the Emperor's own library, the largest collection of books in the Nighmarian Empire.
The thought of all those books made her hands tremble.
Sebastian laughed. "Would you like to accompany me?"
"Yes," whispered Caina. "Yes, I would."
"Then it is settled," said Sebastian. "If the scroll proves authentic, we shall go to the capital and the Imperial Library. Now get some sleep, daughter. You're still too young to stay up half the night reading."
"You do, father."
"Yes, but I'm old enough that it doesn't matter. Now, off to bed."
Caina smiled, kissed his cheek, and left for her bedroom. Though she doubted she would be able to sleep. The Imperial Library!
She entered the hallway, and stopped.
Laeria stood at the end of the hallway, staring at her.
Caina stopped and stared back, readying herself to fight, if her mother tried to invade her mind.
But Laeria only smirked, and walked away without another word.
