At this action, Kieve already understood that they wouldn't be able to support the House of Altair and he could do nothing about it. "I understand, you don't need to apologize. I've already expected this to happen. You should go back then. No need to stay here or else you would be implicated."
No words were exchanged as the man stood up and looked at the high mage with sadness but he couldn't risk his family and so did the others. They were small in number and even if they united, there was nothing they could do. As he left the room, he bumped with Cygnus who had been standing outside for a while now. He scurried away as he avoided the child's eyes.
"What are you doing here Cyg?" Kieve asked when he noticed his son's presence after the man left.
"Mother told us that we are leaving, why are we leaving?" He asked and it brought shivers into Kieve's being as he looked at his son's expression.
