News spread like wildfire in the rebuilding Crescent City.
Maester Taren Cord was going to duel the newly arrived True Maiden Nissa!
Duke Petryn would be observing the duel but he was currently in his office as Lind sat across from him. Teegan was back in her city at the moment so even that support was not there for the man.
Lind felt slightly bad about that but it was not his fault!
"So basically, she would not even reason with you nor your wife?" Lind nodded. "War Maiden Katara has no authority over her?"
A sad smile spread on Lind's face.
"Since the sect wars and the Divine Ruin are gone, the war towers were only here to help defend while we rebuilt the city. It made the Fionan Empire indebted to the sect so there was only upside to leave them here." Petryn slowly nodded as he grasped the situation.
"So the towers were left under a War Maiden I knew as a courtesy but her authority was rescinded?" Lind nodded.
