Challenging The Foreigner

Meanwhile, as she observed her son standing before the Quartzwraith clan's eldest son, Elara furrowed her brow in annoyance. 

She redirected her attention to her husband and asked, "What did you tell him?" She still didn't fully grasp the nature of their conversation.

Clan Head Garnet replied, "We've assessed the strength of the King and Queen, as well as everyone in the palace. If we want to ensure our success, we need to account for every variable, including that of the foreigner."

Elara remained somewhat puzzled by his plan and asked, "And so?"

"So, it means that we need to assess his strength, and considering the King, this might be the last time we see him without a significant security presence in the open. Therefore, this could be our best and last chance to openly gauge his strength and determine what kind of threat he poses to the plan," he responded.
