The cost of Salvation

Due to the high speed of the girls' ice ships, the group quickly arrived in Viset. Demi-humans of different races were impressed and curious about the mysterious group, and soon rumors about the Alliance having a King would spread everywhere like smoke in a strong wind.

Lucien prepares to head towards one of Viset's prisons with Scarlett, and the captain of the guard, who was following Ghalenna and by her order, must help Lucien find and release Scarlett's brother.

But before he goes, he can't help but look at Ghalenna and Ghilanna talking in the back on his ship. He knows that everything will be fine as Ghalenna seems willing to stop making excuses and assume her failure as a mother. Still, Lucien has a hard time fighting the urge to pamper both mother and daughter.

His other wives understand how Lucien does not like them suffering and wanna always help them with any problems, but some things they need to solve independently.
