"Ah, so this is Janna's fault," Daphisio said with a chuckle. "I see. If I had left Janna at home, you would have behaved yourself. You are brainless if you truly believe that." And sometimes he was quite convinced that Daemyn was without a sound mind. He showed flashes of intelligence and ambition, but not enough. Not quite enough.
Turning away from the window, Daphisio faced Daemyn, a tight smile still on his lips. "Little Amadeo has been spending quite a bit of time with the Princess. I am surprised you haven't heard, as I am not the only one who has seen them together. I could not say if they have, ah, snuck behind the stables yet, but I cannot keep an eye on Amadeo every minute of the day. But between the tourney, and Princess Heloise, he is making quite a name for himself in the days we have been here. As are you, of course, but for different reason." He glanced with mild disgust at the bucket beside Daemyn's bed.
