“Boyo, I don’t have to teach you anything,” Saetan replied mildly
“Theran’s going to break the court,” Gray snapped “He’s planning to push Cassie out co and put that bitch Kermilla in her place”
“Gray”
“It’s not fair! After all the work Cassie has done, all the good she’s done, and he thinks he can snap his fingers and everyone will drop to their knees and lick Kermilla’s ass”
“Gray”
“Well, I’ to break Cassie’s court So you—”

“This is what is going to happen today,” Saetan said “You’re co back with me to the Keep in Kaeleer I’ll ask Daemon and Lucivar to join us Then we’ll discuss your concerns and your request for training”
Gray opened his mouth, and if he said what the look in his eyes indicated, Saetan wouldn’t hesitate to toss hi that he wouldn’t be allowed back in until he’d learned some manners
Apparently Gray had already learned some manners because he reined in his temper and said, “Thank you, sir That would be appreciated”
“Fine Since I was about to retire and get so to do that until Dae?”
