"If you suspect something is up then it most likely is," the old man answered while cleaning his glasses.
Sol grimaces at it as he thought so too, usually what people fear comes true, Sol fears that the city lord was suspicious about them and wants to make sure about it.
Be guessed that the city lord had his suspicion but the was not sure about it, if they met with him there is a big chance that the city lord would know their origin,
"Is there any way for us to decline the invite? we are quite busy and would need to leave the city soon," Sol asked the old man as the old man knew the city lord better than him and the other.
The old man stopped cleaning his glasses and looked at him, "there is one way to decline, but do you think you can pay the price?" he asked seriously.
"What is it?" Sol asked in question as he was ready to pay any price, anything other than meeting the city lord as meeting him would be similar to seeking death.
