Theron had been under the incorrect assumption that finding Varya would put Prince Basileus in a better mood. With the way the prince stood at the front of the ship with his eyes glaring at the void, he realized he was mistaken.
Since the intelligence specialist revealed more about who this Armis person was and where she could be found, Prince Basileus was becoming angrier at the way this woman ran her business. He couldn't help wondering how many other defenseless women were trapped in Armis's brothel, unable to find a way out.
As big as his distaste for Ebari was, he was grateful that the alien was there when Varya needed a hero. He had to imagine many in her position weren't so lucky to have someone on their side with power.
