The Emerald Idol: Chapter Twenty-Three

August 31, 2021 ~ coriwrites ~ Leave a comment

Jayce Lady Julia Connoy is the sort of woman that other nobles talk about in hushed whispers. For many of them, the whispers are warnings to watch what was said around her. For others, she’s an inspiration to hold ourselves and our peers accountable for the repercussions of our decisions. My father thought her preference … Continue reading The Emerald Idol: Chapter Twenty-Three

The Emerald Idol: Chapter Twenty-Two

August 26, 2021 ~ coriwrites ~ Leave a comment

Leonie I didn’t take much from my room. I had to hope that Gertrut would be arrested and I’d be allowed to come back and collect all of my belongings then. If I let myself believe otherwise, there were too many possible bad things to dwell on. I would get bogged down and lose all … Continue reading The Emerald Idol: Chapter Twenty-Two

The Emerald Idol: Chapter Twenty-One

August 24, 2021 ~ coriwrites ~ Leave a comment

Jayce “Your mail, my lord.” I paused in the entrance hall, turning in surprise that the servant was addressing me. Jonas and Joel did not seem to have noticed; they were still chatting as they headed for the stairs. I stared at the tray held in front of me, belatedly remembering to take the proffered … Continue reading The Emerald Idol: Chapter Twenty-One

The Emerald Idol: Chapter Twenty

August 19, 2021 ~ coriwrites ~ Leave a comment

Leonie Being able to spend my evenings with Jayce, even it if wasn’t every evening, made life at the Durden estate far more bearable. Gertrut still kept me in her pocket, although with the exhibit opened to the public, she seemed content not to go out quite as much. I suppose she felt she’d drawn … Continue reading The Emerald Idol: Chapter Twenty

The Emerald Idol: Chapter Nineteen

August 17, 2021 ~ coriwrites ~ Leave a comment

Jayce Father suspected something, that much was clear. I must have been too outwardly happy about my brief glimpse of Leonie at the museum and the prospect of being with her again soon. He doubled down on the demands that I spend time with the family. After I returned from the museum, I was dragged … Continue reading The Emerald Idol: Chapter Nineteen

The Emerald Idol: Chapter Eighteen

August 12, 2021 ~ coriwrites ~ Leave a comment

Leonie “I’ve missed you too,” I admitted when we at last broke apart. I rested my forehead against his. “I should be getting back soon. Have you made any progress in your investigation?” “Some,” Jayce answered, tightening his arms around my waist, pulling me closer. “My employer is planning to wait until the end of … Continue reading The Emerald Idol: Chapter Eighteen

The Emerald Idol: Chapter Seventeen

August 10, 2021 ~ coriwrites ~ Leave a comment

Jayce Lady Hazel Seidl, I was pleased to learn, was a very down to earth person. Perhaps fitting for the guardian of the Tanha idol. Her presence was going a long way toward making this lunch of my father’s bearable. I’d been unable to escape the family estate since my return to the city. I … Continue reading The Emerald Idol: Chapter Seventeen

The Emerald Idol: Chapter Sixteen

August 5, 2021 ~ coriwrites ~ Leave a comment

Leonie I stood in the doorway and fidgeted with the bronze-colored cording on my new uniform. Not for the first time, I felt a flash of annoyance at how light it was. The plush green fabric that made up my coat was thick, yes, but it would do little to stop a blade or deflect … Continue reading The Emerald Idol: Chapter Sixteen

The Emerald Idol: Chapter Fifteen

August 3, 2021 ~ coriwrites ~ Leave a comment

Jayce I didn’t want to get off the ship. What I wanted was to stay in our cabin with Leonie forever and not have to think about idols or lying nobles or my family again. But short of buying the ship outright, I didn’t have much in the way of a choice about leaving. Besides, … Continue reading The Emerald Idol: Chapter Fifteen
