"What do you have in mind, Snow?" Nadia said.
"I will release you. All of you will move away from here."
"We have nowhere to go."
"You do now."
Siderius pulled out the deed for Santa Roberto and unrolled it.
Nadia and the miners stepped into the light. The female miner squatted down to better read the parchment.
"This is… A deed to a monastery. The Baron of Scalize has given it to a high noble called Siderius Satterblade."
Nadia looked up at Siderius with questions in her eyes. She still remembered the fake name Siderius had used before. Or rather, it was his real name but she thought it was just an alias.
"The Baron has gifted it to you?"
"That's right."
Siderius rolled the deed back and tucked it into his pocket.
"What if they find out your true identity, Snow?"
"My true identity is what I claim it to be. No one will care who I am. They only care that I am the White Witch. Besides, I have the Baron of Scalize on my side."
