Alex returned back to the Sunborn Sanctuary through the teleportation formations. He still had his other face, one that no one recognized, but his aura wasn't something that he could change.
So, the moment he was back in the city, the elders were immediately alerted to his presence. Before he could even walk out of the formation, several spiritual senses landed on him, some of them furiously asking him to return to the palace.
Alex sighed. What else could he do but agree with these people? After all, they were the ones that were trying to keep him safe.
