“Sure,” he shrugged. “Whatever. I don’t know why you’re arguing with me. I agree, we should get rid of her.”
Yeah… but how?
“What did you do, back in the old days?” Tattletale asked.
Oh jeez. I have some ideas and they don’t work out well for the victims, even if Regent wasn’t the one to do the deed.
“Kept three people I used regularly, with my sister’s help. But this is fine. Look, watch.”
Sister, huh. I guess one with a similar power? Or maybe one that kept the victims from doing stuff while Regent was asleep.
Also, did he cycle through these people according to need, or does this mean he can control multiple people at the same time? He also said “anyone I’m controlling”, which is sort of ambiguous but could include a plural.
Shadow Stalker stood, lowering her hands and arms from around her head, and walked over to the door. She faced Regent.
“I’m letting you go,” he spoke.
“That’s my third wish.”
So, uh, does that release her? Probably not a good idea to release her right here.
I guess it makes more sense that he’d tell her that so that the real Shadow Stalker will know that when he does lift the control. Before that, though, he should make her walk far away.
