Fraternal Twins

Braydon Neal stood in the city lord's mansion and spoke in a hushed tone, "Send someone back to Hansworth's Northern Army and relay my order. Deploy the Northern Army to the 16th ruin and secure Jaa'ku city."

"I'll have someone go right away," Sorrell Neal responded, turning to leave.

Before departing, Braydon inquired, "Where are Grandpa and Uncle Lowell trapped?" 

He had been here for quite some time, and Sorrell had avoided discussing it until now.

Sorrell, seemingly prepared for the question, lowered his head and clenched his fists. 

"Brother, we can't go there. Even if an emperor were to go, I doubt he'd survive. If Grandpa stays, he won't allow me to go, even if it costs him his life."

"If Grandpa passes, I'll take charge of the 16th ancient city. Father entrusted me to prevent you from entering the divine temple if you came to the ruins," Sorrell revealed, clearly pained by the situation.
