"Any news of the Larken Clan?"
A cloaked man asked to another man who wore the same clothing.
"Nothing. They completely shut themselves a few days ago. They should be in another of their private events; those members of the Larken aren't sociable at all."
That man had been trying to obtain information about the Larken Clan for a few days, but the Larken Clan didn't let anyone contact with the outside. The Larken Clan had made the same a lot of times in the past, so it wasn't anything surprising nor to worry about; it was just that the timing wasn't good for those men.
"We need to wait. We can't start our plan properly without the members of the True Larken Clan."
They feared that if the plan started with the Larken Clan isolated, the later would discover their plans after finishing the isolation and avoid the backstabbing by the True Larken Clan. Among the noble clans, the Larken Clan was ranked at the top; the True Empire couldn't neglect it.
