"We managed to extract valuable information from the assassins," Ravia began, her voice steady and clear. "The assassins were sent by Lord Hektor Ravalos, as we suspected. His orders were simple: infiltrate Grafen, gather intelligence on our defenses, and identify any weaknesses that could be exploited.
Raine, who had been silent up until now, added with a wry smile, "They also mentioned that Lord Hektor is growing increasingly paranoid about our rapid rise to power. He sees Grafen as a threat to his ambitions and is desperate to find a way to bring us down before we become too powerful to challenge."
Lyan listened intently, his expression unreadable as he processed the information. The room was silent, the atmosphere tense as the implications of Ravia and Raine's words sank in. The threat from Lord Hektor was real, and it was growing with each passing day.
