Deal 2
My statement caused Selene's features to darken considerably. Cedric bared his fangs at me but I couldn't care less. Especially with Ambition at my side, I doubt he could hurt me even if he tried.
The mage stared at me for a good dozen seconds, clearly deep in thought. After a while, she sighed while obviously being stressed to the limits. "Alright. You will take an assassin squad with you. They are better used for attacking the flank than standing in the formation anyways."
So you sent a group of professional murderers to kill us if we step out of line, huh? Pretty smart. "Alright. We will circle the alliance carefully at the edge of the cavern. Once you begin the clash, we will strike."
My dearest newly made allies weren't pleased with my proposed solution, but they were in a real bind even before meeting us, so they did not have much of a choice but to begrudgingly accept.
