"Duke Alden is just another duke like you, Your Grace. He has no benefits to gain from helping you, which makes him very suspicious that he has been very helpful," argued Twila stubbornly in the middle of their discussion whether Vance should meet up with Alden again. "It will be very foolish if you end up walking into their trap just like that."
Melva disagreed with Twila's thoughts and countered the argument. "In my opinion, it is better if we take the chances, taking into account that we are very outnumbered if we add Lord Corbett and his followers into the number of our enemies. If Duke Alden is really planning to help us, then we will be getting a huge help. But if the worst happens and Duke Alden betrays us, we shall believe in Duke Vance's ability to get away from the trap."
Too young to join the discussion, the three teen werewolves headed out first to continue with their search, together with the Abbertons who had dropped by the tavern and greeted Vance's pack members.
