Such A Killjoy
While Lux and Nevreal were talking in private, Lucius was inside his Merchant Guild, and checking the reports from his subordinates that were currently in other towns and cities of the Kingdom of Gweliven.
Truth be told, the Guildmaster of Twilight Rain had also ordered him to try and find a way to make Aina work for them.

But before moving ahead with that last resort, they decided to use the age-old tactic of using Aina's sister as hostage, in order to make her submit to their will.
Just as Lucius placed the last document in his hand on the table, a knock was heard on the door of his office.
"Come in," he ordered.
