Reporting back to Caius about curing Fault’s corpus brings bittersweet news: He has been ordered to return to the capitol. Before he goes he promotes Fault one last time making her the new highest ranking member of Blades in the local area. Or at least the highest ranking Blade Caius knows about. It’s not like the emperor’s elite spies have a complete organizational chart lying around anywhere.
Fault’s final orders are simple: Track down all the information about the prophecy we can and then make sure everything comes true. It’s up to us exactly how to do this but we are gifted with a final chunk of cash and ownership of Caius’s house to help us out.
I’m going to miss the guy. He’s been a better boss than any of the guild masters.
The hardest part of throwing a going-away-party for a spy master is finding caterer’s with enough clearance to know about the event.
