Trika finished exchanging information with the clan before she looked back at Rean, Roan, and Maeralya. "Alright, I know you have been talking through Divine Sense. In any case, I don't care. Maeralya, I've kept the truth of your relationship with these two hidden from your father and mother. There's still a chance for this to be fixed. If you separate right now, things won't become too complicated."
Rean then got an idea as he asked Trika, "Senior Trika, how bad is it for our Maeralya to be with us?"
Trika immediately explained, "She's the daughter of the Croste Clan, as you already know. If people found out that she took two men as her lovers, it will implicate not only herself but the clan as a whole."
Rean and Roan nodded in response. "So us being together would implicate our Maeralya that much, huh?"
