"Fascinating… what do you mean with that?" Katrana asked her.
"He is mundane, or is supposed to be. Yet his body reacts like that of a full-blooded mage's." Nalice told her and continued. "It could be his own bloodline, his sister is a mage after all, or it could be my mana that I have given to him."
A weak smile appeared on Katrana's face. At least some good news has come out from this.
"Any other news?" Katrana asked her.
"Mistress, he has a new lady." Nalice told her.
"What! Who?" Katrana said with a surprise.
"Lady Barov." Nalice said.
"A Barov? He chose a second rate family with a negligent amount of wealth over me?" Katrana said and couldn't believe what she had just heard.
"He also requests funding for…" Nalice continued, but was interrupted.
"Yes of course, he will get everything he needs and more." Katrana said. "Now leave, we can talk more tomorrow. I need to be alone with my thoughts."
"Yes Mistress." Nalice said and silently left the study.
Katrana drank the sherry in one go and poured more. She bit her lip and felt fire ignite inside her.
Another woman? Had he dropped that Menethil girl or what? Though it didn't matter, Barov or not, they don't compare with her at all. It would be just a friendly competition and she would make sure that she would win it at any cost. She definitely wasn't jealous, it should be her tending Alric at his bedside and not some Barov hag.
Katrana had the wealth, she had things Alric would need and want and sooner than later her allure and her body would work on him. She would get him, sooner than later he would be hers.
Katrana had a wicked smile as she looked out into the storm through the window. Oh this will be fun, finally some exciting news. This got her all fired up and aching for release.
Maybe she should invite Alric to visit Stormwind City or maybe she could visit Alric by herself? Not bad ideas at all.

QM: Finished this sidestory idea from some time ago as I didn't want to go with just two votes this evening. The voting continues and if you have any sidestory ideas, I might write something again later.
