"She would not punish attempted murder of one of her own by killing the attacker?" Grey asked.

Cassidy put a hand on his arm gently. "She may not choose to. There is no law against murder, so the Queen can be lenient of she wishes."

"If someone had tried to kill one of yours..." Grey started.

Cassidy raised her eyebrows. "You know better, Grey. At least you normally do. You weren't there that day with Weaver's family. but I know you heard the story."

Grey sighed. "This place has no magic, to know there is someone here who is a threat while you can't shield and we can hardly stand..."

"Then we have to trust and rely on others," Cassidy said firmly.
