Siv eyes Shelby and Erling as to get a confirmation that what Brandt told them is true.
"It is all true, Lady Holmen." Shelby responds to her questioning look.
The room is silent for a moment. Siv knows that she cannot trust Brandt, even if everything he said is true. She also knows that Erling and Shelby are blindly loyal to him.
"Keep Brandt locked, Erling can tell General Njord about the Lions strategy." Siv utters. "Not that we will follow your instructions for certain, we might choose not to." She stares at Erling. "Lord Benson can walk freely inside the cavern, but keep an eye on both of them at all times." She tells Njord.
"Yes, Lady Siv." The general answers before cutting the ropes restricting Erling and Shelby. "You can come with me." He tells them.
"Your Highness." Erling gives a look of worry to the king.
"I will be alright, Erling." Brandt smiles at her weakly.
"Have guards outside this room too." Siv orders.
