Threat from inside and outside

"What!?" Israeghar exclaimed clearly; he was surprised, which was very rare.

At the mention of Aragon's name, Danthor tensed. Aragon, the grandson of the legendary Renqinor, it was the second time he was hearing this name.

Danthor didn't pay attention to him because he thought he was just a child and he didn't have any power.

Emperor Danthor nodded slowly, processing the information. The Arakenys' return was troubling, but Aragon's display of power was equally concerning.

Jarluin, emboldened by the Emperor's silence, pressed on. "Your Majesty, if I may speak freely?"

At Danthor's nod, he continued, "I fear that Aragon's rising star may cast a shadow over your reign. Perhaps it would be wise to... remove him from the equation before he becomes a threat."

"If the emperor had acted then, when I first reported the appearance of him along with the lady Freja's, we should have acted then only. Perhaps this day wouldn't have come."
