Not so easily

Kelly desperately tried to calm his beating heart. How on earth did he have such rotten luck?

Not only had he been found by very wizard who was to betray Lord Rosenburg, said wizard immediately took a shine to his feminine disguise.

He could all but see his heroic and dashing version of this tale disappearing into mist.

Instead, he felt Lazaro’s hands settle into his hip and his back. “My my, how tense you are my dear. Not to fret, I’m very gentle.”

Kelly felt a chill go up his spine. He was trapped already? No sword, literally in the wizard’s hands. The only reason he wasn’t dead already was Lazaro thought he was a cute new maid.

“S-sorry, sir.” Kelly whispered. “Just nervous.”

Lazaro chuckled. “Not to worry…I can help with that.”
