“I'm talking about that man,” Frederick clarified under his breath.

“You could say that.”
Freya sighed, already feeling a headache coming on. What she feared most were Ellis’s unpredictable traps.
Trent's eyes flickered with thought. “He isn’t as strict as you think. Sometimes, he’s genuinely concerned—not
