Kazim chuckled, then he closed the door. He moved into his own studies and locked the door behind him. He sat down at the table and read the reports the other assassins had written for him on the actions and observations of the day. Most of them referred to the killings or observations of henchmen from the bigger fishes, others referred to his fight with Leandros. The other assassins had searched his hideout and liberated dozens of slaves. They also found documents, which had a list of buyers and other slave traders among them. Kazim was satisfied. The actions of today had fully paid off. He then read the last report, which came from his men and women at the Declothed Queen. There had been an incident of a big demon known as Valdios kidnapping two women, one guest and one of the employees. It seemed that the demon knew the guest very well, but it was unclear why. Apparently Valdios had ridden off to the outskirts of the city, where Kazim's men had lost track of him. Kazim decided to look into the matter tomorrow, as he too was exhausted.
But before he laying himself to sleep, he pulls open a drawer in his desk, pulling out a small picture. It was a picture of Lia. Kazim had a close relationship to her over the years, but it always remained on friendship, to not endanger the order. But he didn't pull out the picture just to live in memories. The real reason was, that Kirin had a striking resemblance to Lia. The same long, black hair with a red strip, the same contours of the face and even the eye color.
Lia had told him, that she had a daughter, but that she had to give her into an orphanage, because she didn't have enough money to buy food for the both of them. A short while later, she had joined the order. Could it be, that Kirin was in fact Lia's daughter? Kazim decided to do more research on that matter. He put the picture back into the drawer of the desk and closed it. Then he stripped himself of his armor and lay down on his bed, one hand reaching under the pillow and resting on the dagger that lay there. A few moments later, he fell asleep.
