Nashim, known for being a bookworm, was nothing new in the library and Zakrivea knew where to search him in this late hour. She left the queen fiftheen minutes ago and had to be fast as light to be back soon; she couldn't been seen with Lord Advisor, it would be end of his plan, that he still didn't want to tell her.

She saw him indeed in the Great Library. She hoped that his pupil, this elf Keeral, won't be with him and for her relief, she hasn't saw him near. The young sorceress clenched her fists and stepped closer to Nashim, noticing how petite he is, when he sits on the chair, with brows narrowed and concentrated expression. She felt a kind of kidness in him in that very moment but she pushed these thoughts far away, because Nashim wouldn't be happy if she told him that.

"My Lord..." she leaned to him, apparently being a surprise for him in this part of the castle, because he moved nervously and looked at her with slight anger in his eyes. "Queen doesn't need my services right now, I hoped I can talk to you for a minute or two."

"You don't see, I am reading?" he murmured, again digging his look into the old book. "It's an unfortunate thing, that I can't give you attention that you desire now."

"Oh!" that was the only word that Zakrivea could say at these statement. Nashim was usually harsh for her; that's why she was afraid of him a little, despite the fact that she KNEW that he is torturing people in dungeons, when nobody listens. She knew that he could throw her there as well if she was unobedient or dissapointed him. But she also hoped that he has also good feelings towards her; she was helping him for years but still haven't managed to brake his cold mask he always wore.

"Strange man visited Rabra yesterday" she said quickly, before he stopped her. "Queen didn't want anyone to see him but let me hold candles when he was talking with her. I think that..."

"You THINK?" Nashim looked at her with freezing look of his pale blue eyes. "That's something new. You probably THINK that this is her lover, secret that she holds under her gown?"

"Yes, I think that!" Zakrivea said with vigor, trying to not look at her Lord. "She never told anyone to visit her that late. This may be this mysterious lord that made her..."

"Pregnant with Dhuren? That was long ago, Dhuren is now adolescent. Do you think that this 'love' is still going on?" Nashim was still looking at her with tension, trying to find truth in her eyes. He leaned to her and whispered. "Better find better evidence of her treachery. King loves his son above his life. Be useful. Find more evidences. I know you can, you are my girl..."

Her eyes lit when he told that. She felt his breath on her neck when he was close to her for a moment. He was not a child that he looked like. He was a man. She should never forget that. "I will try, my Lord." she said and wanted to say even more but Nashim again sank in the old book.

She retreated.

I like that Nashim. He seems like a very interesting character. He is mean and evil, but I think he has some kindness in him :)
