"The d-demons t-took the s-s-servants?" Eleanor repeated, staring at Percivus in disbelief. She'd spent a number of months at the Villa with Jocelynn over the summer. It wasn't a large manor, but it still possessed stout walls with a knight and dozens of soldiers to defend it. It should have been impossible for the small demon raids they'd seen so far to breach the defenses of the Villa.
"What, what about S-s-sir C-cathal?" Eleanor asked, remembering the kindly old knight who had insisted on guarding the Villa even after Lady Jocelynn returned to Lothian City. Of course, Cathal wasn't aware that the 'Lady Ashlynn' in the Villa was only a servant from Lothian Manor who resembled Eleanor's cousin, but Eleanor had always expected that, even if he knew, Cathal would have treated Samira with the same respect that he paid to 'Lady Ashlynn.'
