Upon entering the palace that was previously owned by her, both Layland and Haletha stopped in their tracks. While Layland was amused by the scene in front of him, Haletha couldn't help gritting her teeth in anger.
Seeing hundreds of her citizens armed with weapons, she instantly recalled her conversation with Layland before departing to Lysimork. Those who wielded weapons would be considered enemies, and thus were allowed to be killed.
"What do you think you are doing, you coward?" she exclaimed in indignation. "Get out of your hide and let them go!"
"Why don't you surrender and present me your head, Haletha?" Iorael retorted. "That is a cheap price, don't you think? The head of the worthless harlot who has betrayed her kin in exchange for the lives of 130 Dark Elves."
