Meeting Maelis Again

"Come out right this instant. I have no idea how you got there, but you better get out," shouted the guard who was on the other side of the door.

Aiden, hearing this, confirmed his thoughts from earlier that Maelis had indeed told no one about him being there.

Then, a weird interaction happened between the guards and Aiden when he noticed that Aiden was leaning on a wall waiting not even caring about what was happening.

Aiden then explained to the guards what happened, but they simply didn't believe him. He didn't want to take any risk since he would lose his job if he let the person in front of him do what he wanted.

But then, the guard asked for Aiden's name, wanting to know more about this person who has a certain connection with the matriarch.

"Aiden," he said once again, not revealing his last name since he knew that it would become dangerous for him.
