In a single leap, two figures jumped out of the courtyard and landed by the group at the gate.
"Isaac, I see you've already rounded up your local leaders?"
"Treeda, of course, I have." More polite than ever, Lord Draco brandished an enticing grin. "This is Bradok, leader of the gorilla clan heading this territory. And this is Vloz, the head of this territory's academy."
Blinking, Treeda scanned over them both. "It's my pleasure to meet you both."
"The pleasure is ours," Vloz and Bradok replied in unison.
"True, but I'm still glad to come personally. Bradok, it was a shame that I missed your feast last time, so I look forward to experiencing your extravagant dishes while I'm here." Keeping her subtle smile, Treeda then looked to Vloz. "And Vloz, this isn't the first time I've heard about you. I believe the first time was nearly a decade ago, when you almost assassinated two of my kings."
