A guard came in, and everyone couldn't help sitting up straight.
-Silence-
Everyone's body went tight in tension while listening to the guard speak.
And Landon, who didn't feel like hiding anything from his brothers, had already given the go-ahead to the guard to say everyone openly.
Bottom line, they had intruders in the empire.
And this was nothing to laugh about, especially on such an occasion!
Sirius glanced at Landon thoughtfully: "Brother, just say the word, and you know we'll step in to assist if need be."
Everyone else nodded as if saying: we've got your back.
And for this, Landon felt very touched in his heart.
"No. That won't be necessary. I think they should be able to handle things."
"Hmmmm..." William bobbed his head while massaging his chin thoughtfully.
Yes. They should be able to handle things. But then again, they still had to take precautions themselves.
