113: A friend evolve into a foe (2)

~Laith~

Moriah dragged me out of the palace very early in the morning. He insisted that there was something that he needed to show me desperately. 

He informed me of the importance and urgency of the situation which needed my attention, it concerned the traveler. I left the palace with him to go and see to his urgent matter. 

Moriah walked me through the bustling market. I strode next to him, watching the people of Liradia move on with their daily lives in peace. The serenity of their movements calmed my mind. It felt nice to witness the people of Liradia recover from the pain of the hostile takeover Zephirin did a few months back. 

"I wish I had the privilege to be so peaceful, " I exclaimed in envy. The truth of the matter was that I was far from at peace with myself. The whole world had turned around and thrown daggers at my back.
