Conquest { XIX }

About five minutes had passed since Ren and Liara arrived. Most of that time, Liara spent with Bruce, crying her heart out in his embrace. It was a great relief that she was finally out of Glenwood's torturous hands and now in the arms of her loved ones.

On the other hand, Ren was being restrained by the soldiers, who gave him heated glares. Ren tried reasoning with them, but they paid deaf ears. Having been betrayed by one of their trusted captain and colleague, trusting others became difficult for them.

Far away from the commotion, Rowan sat on his horse and observed the entire scene with a calm expression on his face. He patiently waited for Liara and Bruce to finish their emotional moment before taking any action.

Another two minutes passed, and Liara finally let go of Bruce and turned to look at Rowan.

When she arrived with Ren, the only person she had recognized, besides Bruce, was Rowan, but she hadn't paid much attention to him.
