"So she has been banished?" he said, looking down at the Jackal captain who stood below.

"No, My Lord."
"Do we know where she has been sent?"
"No, My Lord."
"Then find out as you value your life!" Anubis barked and hackles rose along the backs of the great Jackal Dogs that flanked him.
"She is probably living in comfort while my honour remains tarnished. For all we know, she has simply been sent back to her family."
"And if we find her, My Lord?"
"Do nothing. Report to me first."
