Fortunately, the entire office was only covered in silence for the next couple of minutes after that, with Tristan letting out a low sigh the very moment the two made up their minds. "To be honest, we weren't planning to tell you what happened to Damian at first."
"However, you have the right to know at the very least, especially since he thinks of you as the main reason why the village is what it is today," he continued, giving Alfaera a signal through his glance.
With that, the woman continued where the man left off, looking at Valyr directly in the eye. "To cut a long story short, the Damian we once knew is now gone."
Unsurprisingly, Valyr's eyes widened in surprise, only for his face to adorn a frown, feeling that the apologetic expression on both Alfaera and Tristan's eyes meant something else. "By gone… you don't mean dead, right?"
