Clypsians and Dogons

"Young prince, this…"

One of the elders following after Aurion leaned over to whisper in his ears, but Aurion held up a hand.

"This matter is too important to return now. Whatever the fallout is, it's already happened. Whoever it is can't act out boldly now even if they wanted to."

The elders still seemed hesitant, but in the end they were still forced to abide by this young prince's words.

Aerwyna sighed a breath of relief when she realized that they weren't here for her. In that case, she would just slip away with her team.

Unfortunately, things were never so simple.

"You. Stay."

Aerwyna froze, but in the end she, too, was forced to comply.
