Fooled, Quietly
...
Inside a spacious room located at the Gates of Aegis sat a mysterious cloaked figure clad in all black.
This cloaked figure was a member of the Ghosts of the Nox, as well as the same individual Prisca ordered to visit the border.
But, the cloaked figure was not alone as two sets of fierce gazes were locked onto him.
There was only one way in and out of the room; therefore, if someone wanted to escape, they would first have to get past the two guards stationed on both sides of the door.
These guards were a part of the Order of the Eternal Aegis, so their strength was not to be underestimated.
All of a sudden, the door opened from the outside as two men stepped into the room.
"I heard there was someone who wanted to see me. But, I gotta say—your get-up and timing are rather suspicious." Aurelius' voice sounded as the door closed behind him.
