"That's enough," Tamara said, and though her voice was low it reached them both. "You've left some of those girls broken, at least one of them possessed by a demon. I don't think I even want to know how that happened or what sort of excuse you'll offer. You keep telling me what's between you is between you, and that is as it should be. So let it be between you. You should both be ashamed of yourselves. I will see that the babies are returned to their mothers but it is up to you to restore those girls to their right minds."
The Faerie Princess narrowed her gaze and took two steps toward Tamara. "Who do you think you are, girl?"
"I've told you who I am. Perhaps I have the power to defeat you again, or perhaps not. But if you refuse to attend to your responsibilities, you will have to kill me to stop me hounding you. And if you kill me, there will be my brother to contend with. And if you kill him, there will be another Protector after us. You're worse than children, the two of you. If you want to destroy one another, do so, but I will not allow you to harm another innocent over your disregard for one another."
For a long moment, no one spoke. Then, at last, Edric nodded.
